Correct answer to question 111 (Electronics Information): block nearly all current because of its very high internal resistance
Method
A voltmeter is built with very high internal resistance so it draws almost no current when placed in parallel. Wired in series instead, that same high resistance would choke off nearly all the circuit's current.
