Question

For the circuit shown below the student would observe

• A. Some reading in both ammeter and voltmeter
• B. No reading in either the ammeter or the voltmeter
• C. Some reading on ammeter and but reading in voltmeter
• D. Some reading in voltmeter but no reading in ammeter

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Some reading on ammeter and but reading in voltmeter

The ammeter will show some reading as current passes through it. On the other hand, the key connecting the voltmeter to the circuit is off so it won’t show any deflection.
