What is a circuit diagram? Draw the labelled diagram of an electric circuit comprising of a cell, a resistor, an ammeter, a voltmeter and a closed switch (or closed plug key). Which of the two has a large resistance: an ammeter or a voltmeter?

Electric circuit is represented by drawing circuit diagrams. A diagram which indicates how different components in a circuit have been connected by using the electrical symbols for the components is called a circuit diagram.



Voltmeter is an apparatus used to measure the potential difference or electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. A voltmeter has a large resistance.
