An ammeter is always connected in MCQ with Answer and Explanation

An ammeter is always connected in
A. Either series or parallel
B. Parallel with circuit
C. Across supply
D. Series with circuit
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ammeter measures current, must be in series so full current flows through it. Low internal resistance to minimize voltage drop. Voltmeter measures potential difference, connected in parallel, high resistance.

Question #3
Assertion (A): Gamma rays are fundamentally un-deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Reason (R): Gamma rays carry no electrical charge.
A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B. A is true but R is false.
C. A is false but R is true.
D. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Electric fields deflect charged particles via Coulomb forces (F=qE), and magnetic fields deflect moving charged particles via Lorentz forces (F=qvB). Gamma rays are purely high-energy electromagnetic photons. Because they lack any electrical charge (q=0), both electric and magnetic forces on them are exactly zero. Therefore, they pass through fields completely un-deflected. R explains A perfectly.
