Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 218

Question: In the diagram shown, the reading of voltmeter is 20 V and that of ammeter is 4 A. The value of R should be (Consider given ammeter and voltmeter are not ideal)

[RPMT 1997]

Options:

A) Equal to $ 5,\Omega $

B) Greater from $ 5,\Omega $

C) Less than $ 5,\Omega $

D) Greater or less than $ 5,\Omega $ depends on the material of R

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

If resistance of ammeter is r then $ 20=(R+r)4 $

Therefore $ R+r=5 $

Therefore $ R<5,\Omega $
