Question

If the resistance $R_{1}$ is increased, how will the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter change?

Open in App

Solution

If the resistance $R_{1}$ is increased, the reading of ammeter decreases because of less current flow through it. Similarly reading of voltmeter also decreases as the current passing through $R_{2}$ decreases in magnitude.
