$A$ current of $10^{-3} \ A$ is flowing through a resistance of $1000 \ \Omega$. To measure the correct potential difference across this resistance,a voltmeter must be used whose resistance should be:

  • A
    $0 \ \Omega$
  • B
    $500 \ \Omega$
  • C
    $1000 \ \Omega$
  • D
    $>> 1000 \ \Omega$
