The resistance of an ideal ammeter is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Ammeter is designed to measure current by being placed in series with the circuit.
To ensure it does not affect the circuit operation significantly, its resistance must be very low.
An ideal ammeter has resistance as close to zero as possible to minimize voltage drop across it, ensuring accurate current measurement. Therefore, the correct option is C: Small.
