In the following circuit, the emf of the cell is 2 V and the internal resistance is negligible. The resistance of the voltmeter is 
. the reading of the voltmeter will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Total resistance of given circuit
Main current, 
Now, in parallel, there are two resistances of 
each (one of voltmeter and other 
resistance). So, current is equally distributed in 
resistance and voltmeter, i.e. 
of current flows through each.
Potential difference across 
resistance or voltmeter reading
