if you measure voltage with a multimeter are the leads of the circuit connected in a series or parallel
its series right
When measuring voltage with a multimeter, the leads of the circuit are typically connected in parallel. This means that each lead is connected to a different point in the circuit to measure the voltage difference between those points. In this configuration, the multimeter acts as a parallel branch across the circuit, allowing the voltage across a specific component or portion of the circuit to be measured.
To measure voltage with a multimeter in series, you would need to break the circuit and insert the multimeter within that break. In this setup, the multimeter becomes part of the series circuit, and voltage is measured as the potential difference across the multimeter.
However, in most cases, when you want to measure the voltage across a specific component or point in a circuit, you would use the multimeter in parallel mode. This involves connecting the multimeter leads in parallel with the component or points where you want to measure the voltage.
