An ideal voltmeter is configured to read rms value of the potential difference between its terminals. It is connected between points XX and YY and then between YY and ZZ . The reading(s) of the voltmeter will beThe instantaneous voltages at three terminals marked X, Y and Z are given by V _ X = V _ 0 sin V _ Y = V _ 0 sin ( +The instantaneous voltages at three terminals marked X, Y and Z are given by V _ X = V _ 0 sin V _ Y = V _ 0 sin ( +

Options

  1. AVXYrms=V0{V}_{XY}^{rms} = {V}_{0}
  2. BVYZrms=V012{V}_{YZ}^{rms} = {V}_{0}\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}}
  3. CIndependent of the choice of the terminals
  4. DVXYrms=V032{V}_{XY}^{rms} = {V}_{0}\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}

Correct answer

C. Independent of the choice of the terminals

Step-by-step solution

Potential difference between XandY=VX−VYXandY = {V}_{X} - {V}_{Y}

Potential difference between YandZ=VY−VZYandZ = {V}_{Y} - {V}_{Z}

Phasor of the voltages:

The instantaneous voltages at three terminals marked X, Y and Z are given by V _ X = V _ 0 sin V _ Y = V _ 0 sin ( +

From phasor diagram the peak value of Vx−Vy{V}_{x} - {V}_{y} can be calculated from parallelogram law

The instantaneous voltages at three terminals marked X, Y and Z are given by V _ X = V _ 0 sin V _ Y = V _ 0 sin ( +

(Vx−Vy)peak=VX2+VY2+2VXVYcos⁡(60)=V02+V02+2V0V0×12=3V0{\left({V}_{x} - {V}_{y}\right)}_{peak} = \sqrt{{V}_{X}^{2} + {V}_{Y}^{2} + 2{V}_{X}{V}_{Y}\cos \left(60\right)} = \sqrt{{V}_{0}^{2} + {V}_{0}^{2} + 2{V}_{0}{V}_{0} \times \dfrac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{3}{V}_{0}

∴(VX−VY)peak=3V0∴ {\left({V}_{X} - {V}_{Y}\right)}_{peak} = \sqrt{3}{V}_{0}

(Vx−Vy)rms=VXYrms=3V02{\left({V}_{x} - {V}_{y}\right)}_{rms} = {V}_{XY}^{rms} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}{V}_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}

Similarly (Vy−Vz)rms=VXYrms=3V02{\left({V}_{y} - {V}_{z}\right)}_{rms} = {V}_{XY}^{rms} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}{V}_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}
