List in a tabular form two differences between a voltmeter and an ammeter.
(N/A)
| Voltmeter | Ammeter |
| $(a)$ It is used to measure the potential difference between two points in a circuit. | $(a)$ It is used to measure the electric current flowing through a circuit. |
| $(b)$ It is always connected in parallel across the component. | $(b)$ It is always connected in series with the component. |
| $(c)$ It has a very high resistance to ensure minimal current flows through it. | $(c)$ It has a very low resistance to ensure minimal voltage drop across it. |
