As shown in the figure, the voltmeter reads \(2\,V\) across \(5\,\Omega\) resistor. The resistance of the voltmeter is \(.......\,\Omega\).

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(20\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(i_1=\frac{2\,V}{5\,\Omega}=\frac{2}{5}\,A\)
\(i=\frac{1 V}{2 \Omega}=\frac{1}{2}\,A\)
\(\therefore \text { Current through voltmeter }=i-i_1\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5-4}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\,A\)
\(\therefore \text { For voltmeter }\)
\(2=\left(\frac{1}{10}\right) R \Rightarrow R=20\,\Omega\)
