Ideal voltmeter connected as shown reads
Options
- A16 ~V
- B12 ~V
- C4 ~V
- D8 ~V
Correct answer
D. 8 ~V
Step-by-step solution
Here, 6 and 12 2 resistors are in parallel combination, so their equivalent resistance, R_ eq = 6 12 6+12 = 72 18 =4 Now, R_ eq and 4 are in series, so total resistance, R_ t =4+4=8 Emf of battery, E=16 ~V Reading of voltmeter, V^ = 4 R_ t E= 4 16 8 =8 ~V
