Q47 / 52 · KVPY 2017 (19 Nov SA) · Physics

In the circuit shown below, a student performing Ohm's lawexperiment accidently puts the voltmeter and the ammeter as shown in the circuit below, the reading in the voltmeter will be close to Figure

  • A
    0
  • B
    $4.8 \mathrm{~V}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $6.0 \mathrm{~V}$
  • D
    $1.2 \mathrm{~V}$

Solution

Voltmeter has very high Resistane thus it is put in parallel. If it is put in series maximum of potential difference will be across voltmeter

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
