The net resistance of an ammeter should be small to ensure that

1.   it does not get overheated

2.   it does not draw excessive current

3.   it can measure large currents

4.   it does not appreciably change the current to be measured.

The net resistance of a voltmeter should be large to ensure that:
 
1. It does not get overheated.
2. It does not draw excessive current.
3. It can measure large potential differences.
4. It does not appreciably change the potential difference to be measured.
