Question

In the circuit shown, a student performing Ohm's law experiment accidently puts the voltmeter and the ammeter as shown in the circuit; the reading in the voltmeter will be close to.

• A. $0$V
• B. $4.8$V
• C. $6.0$V
• D. $1.2$V

Answer 1

The correct option is C $6.0$V

The ideal voltmeter act as open circuit so total voltage is on the voltmeter only, so battery has total voltage of 6 V . Therefore voltage across voltmeter is 6V
