Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 303

Question: What is the reading of voltmeter in the following figure

[MP PMT 2004]

Options:

A) 3 V

B) 2 V

C) 5 V

D) 4 V

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Resistance between A and B $ =\frac{1000\times 500}{(1500)}=\frac{1000}{3} $ So, equivalent resistance of the circuit $ R _{eq} $

$ =500+\frac{1000}{3}=\frac{2500}{3} $ \ Current drawn from the cell $ i=\frac{10}{(2500/3)} $

$ $

$ =\frac{3}{250}A $ Reading of voltmeter i.e. potential difference across $ AB=\frac{3}{250}\times \frac{1000}{3}=4,V $
