Question

The reading in the ideal voltmeter V shown in the given circuit diagram is:

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
C0 V

Step-by-step explanation

As the voltmeter is idea, no current will flow through it. Therefore, considering left loop, we can write

i=Eeqreq=8×58×0.2

⇒I=25 A

Now, potential drop across the cell which is connected in parallel with Voltmeter,

V=E-ir

=5-0.2×25

=0 V
