An ammeter and a voltmeter of resistanceRare connected in series to an electric cell of negligible internal resistance. Their readings areAandVrespectively. If another resistanceRis connected in parallel with the voltmeter, then

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

When resistanceRis connected in parallel with the voltmeter, the effective resistance will decrease.


According to Ohm's law,

V=IR

R=VI

Here,Rdecreases and henceIincreases. AsIincreases, Potentential across (A) increases and hence potential across (V) decreases.
