Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 316

Question: If resistance of voltmeter is 10000W and resistance of ammeter is 2W then find R when voltmeter reads 12V and ammeter reads 0.1 A

[BCECE 2005]

Options:

A) 118 W

B) 120 W

C) 124 W

D) 114W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

According to following figure Reading of voltmeter = Potential difference between A and B = i (R + 2)

Therefore 12 = 0.1 (R + 2)

Therefore R = 118 W.
