Answer:

An ammeter should be connected in the series while the voltmeter in parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammeter is the device used to measure the electric current. So , the total current flowing through the circuit must pass through the ammeter. Thus , it should be connected in series. While voltmeter is a device used to measure the potential difference between two ends. Therefore, voltmeter should be connected in parallel to measure the potential difference across two ends.
