Now that was an answer I was looking for! Thanks!

Oh, the resistance, then yes. But I have played around with circuits with battery connected to wires and etc, etc... but never have encountered a problem when a "normal wire" (as stated by Redbelly98) melted, or got a severe burn. And I understood the responses that the wire-melting/burning is...

Thanks for the response! But with Svein's answer, why would I get burned/wire melt? Is the presumed phenomenon dependent on the presence of the Voltmeter? I'm not quite getting where the thermal energy would possibly come from.

I'm Referencing: Foundations of Electromagnetic Theory - 4th Edition by Reitz Here's where I'm struggling: Then take a look @ this crude diagram of a circuit I've drawn. A voltmeter probe marked P (red) is moving along the circuit (red arrow), while the black probe remains stationary...

One of the biggest noobs in the world @ physics That's why I majored it. Totally loving it.
