Hello,
Based on Boylestad's Introductory Circuit Analysis, a voltmeter places an additional resistance across the element of interest. As I understand this is voltmeter internal resistance, which should be very high. However, in another book, Nilsson & Riedel Electric Circuits, it shows that a voltmeter internal resistance is connected in series with the voltmeter itself. I'm lost here, which configuration is correct?
Thanks.
