Question: $ {{10}^{-3}}amp $ is flowing through a resistance of $ 1000,\Omega $ . To measure the correct potential difference, the voltmeter is to be used of which the resistance should be

[MP PMT 1985]

Options:

A) $ 0,\Omega $

B) $ 500,\Omega $

C) $ 1000,\Omega $

D) $ »1000,\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Resistance of voltmeter should be greater than the external circuit resistance. An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance.
