Physics Current Electricity Instrument MCQ (Single Correct)

The current in a conductor and the potential difference across its ends are measured by an ammeter and a voltmeter. The meters draw negligible currents. The ammeter is accurate but the voltmeter has a zero error (that is, it does not read zero when no potential difference is applied). Then the zero error is (if the readings for two different conditions are 1.75 A, 14.4 V and 2.75 A, 22.4 V.)

A
0.4 volt
B
0.8 volt
C
– 0.4 volt
D
– 0.8 volt
