The ammeter and the voltmeter will read zero

The voltmeter will burn up

The ammeter and the voltmeter will read large values

The ammeter will burn up

The ammeter will read a value comparable to when the voltmeter is not improperly connected, and the voltmeter will read a small value.

The ammeter and the voltmeter will read small values

The power supply will burn up
