Explanation

Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds,

It is a type of strong intermolecular force

Where the slightly positive hydrogen of one molecule attracts the slightly negative oxygen of another, creating a "sticky" network that gives water unique properties like surface tension.

Explanation

• An ammeter measures the electric current flowing through a circuit.
• It is connected in series so that the same current flowing through the circuit also passes through the ammeter.
• An ammeter has very low resistance to minimize its effect on the current being measured.

Additional information:

• A voltmeter, in contrast, is connected in parallel to measure the potential difference across a component.
