Of the five scenarios, which would cause a short circuit while measuring resistance? a. Connect a voltmeter in series with the object and an ammeter in parallel with the object b. Connect a voltmeter in parallel with the object and an ammeter in parallel with the object c. Connect a voltmeter in parallel with the battery and the ammeter in series with the object d. connect a voltmeter in parallel with the object and an ammeter in series with the object e. connect a voltmeter in series with the object and the ammeter in parallel with the battery Solution e) connect voltmeter in series with the object and ammeter in parallel with the battery, since ammeter has zero resistance it short circuits battery .
