Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(i_1=\frac{2\,V}{5\,\Omega}=\frac{2}{5}\,A\)

\(i=\frac{1 V}{2 \Omega}=\frac{1}{2}\,A\)

\(\therefore \text { Current through voltmeter }=i-i_1\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5-4}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\,A\)

\(\therefore \text { For voltmeter }\)

\(2=\left(\frac{1}{10}\right) R \Rightarrow R=20\,\Omega\)
