Q.

A, B and C are voltmeters of resistance R, 1.5R 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            [2015]


 

1 VA=VBVC  
2 VAVBVC  
3 VA=VB=VC  
4 VAVB=VC  

Ans.

(3)

The current flowing in the different branches of circuit is indicated in the figure.

       VA=IR,  VB=2I3×32R=IR,  VC=I3×3R=IR

Thus, VA=VB=VC
