Two batteries, one of emf 18 volts and internal resistance 2 and the other of emf 12 volts and internal resistance 1 , are connected as shown. The voltmeter V will record a reading of


- A30 volt
- B18 volt
- C15 volt
- D14 volt
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D

From Kirchhoff’s law, I × 2 + I × 1 = 18 – 12
Current in the circuit,
Voltage drop across ,
V1 = 2 × 2 = 4 V
Voltmeter reading = 18 – 4 = 14 V.
