Explanation:
A voltmeter is a device used to measure the potential difference “Between Two

Points”. In order to measure the potential between two points, we have NO WAY
around except to connect it in Parallel.
A voltmeter is a device of having high resistance. So, if we connect it in Series, it

would hinder the current flow in the circuit hence Open Circuit results. That’s why
we do not connect it in Series.

point in the fluid by an amount equal to the external pressure. This is known as
A. Pascal's principle C. Torricelli's Theorem
B. Archimedes principle D. Bernoulli's Theorem
Explanation:
Pascal’s principle, also called Pascal’s law, in fluid (gas or liquid)

mechanics, statement that, in a fluid at rest in a closed container,
a pressure change in one part is transmitted without loss to every portion of the
fluid and to the walls of the container. The principle was first enunciated by the
French scientist Blaise Pascal.
Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted
on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to
the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at
the center of mass of the displaced fluid.
Torricelli's law, also known as Torricelli's theorem, is a theorem in fluid
dynamics relating the speed of fluid flowing out of an orifice to the height of fluid
above the opening.
Bernoulli, the theorem states, in effect, that the total mechanical
energy of the flowing fluid, comprising the energy associated with fluid pressure,
the gravitational potential energy of elevation, and the kinetic energy of fluid
motion, remains constant.

The force of cohesion is defined as the force of attraction between
molecules of the same substance.
The force of adhesion is defined as the force of attraction between different
substances, such as glass and water.
Capillary Action is due to both the cohesive forces between liquid
molecules and adhesive forces of liquid molecules.

means of a string, cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or
by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object
