A, B and C are voltmeters of resistance R, 1.5 R and 3R respectively as shown in the figure. When some potential difference is applied between X and Y, the voltmeter readings are VA, VB and VC respectively, Then


- AVA = VB VC
- BVA VB VC
- CVA = VB = VC
- DVA VB = VC
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Effective resistance of
B & C = (1.5R)(3R)/(1.5R + 3R) = R
In series sequence voltage across A = voltage across B & C
Now B & C are parallel, so VB = VC,
VA = VB = VC
