Two resistors 
and 
are connected in series with a 6 V battery. The potential difference measured by voltmeter of 
across 
resistor is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Here, the resistances of 
and 
are in parallel, so their effective resistance R P will be
Total resistance of the circuit,
Current in the circuit, 
Potential difference across voltmeter,
