Question #1
An ammeter is always connected in
A. Either series or parallel
B. Series with circuit
C. Parallel with circuit
D. Across supply

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
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 #2
The mirror used as rear-view mirror in vehicles is
A. Plane mirror
B. Convex mirror
C. Parabolic mirror
D. Concave mirror

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Convex mirror gives wider field of view, always forms virtual, erect, diminished image. Allows driver to see larger area. Concave can magnify but field narrow. Plane gives normal view but limited field.
