Question

Two resistances of $400\Omega$ and $800\Omega$ are connected in series with a $6$ volt battery of negligible internal resistance. A voltmeter of resistance $10,000\Omega$ is used to measure the potential difference across $400\Omega$. The error in the measurement of the potential difference in volts approximately is :

• A. $0.01$
• B. $0.02$
• C. $0.03$
• D. $0.05$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $0.05$
