With respect to the internal resistance of the voltmeter, the following statements are NOT true : The internal resistance of the voltmeter determines the accuracy of the voltage reading across the component. Voltmeters reduce the total resistance of the circuit, hence an internal resistance that is very low in comparison to the circuit, will give an accurate reading. False readings can occur due to the meter changing the circuit. If the voltmeter has a resistance that is too low in comparison to the component across which the voltage drop is to be measured, it will lower the net resistance of the circuit. Due to voltmeters being connected in parallel, they are not part of the circuit, hence they provide an accurate reading.
