Question
In measuring a voltage, a voltmeter uses some current from the circuit. Consequently, the voltage measured is only an approximation
to the voltage present when the voltmeter is not connected. Consider a circuit consisting of two 1830- resistors connected in series
across a 70.0-V battery. (a) Find the voltage across one of the resistors. (b) A voltmeter has a full-scale voltage of 70.0 V and uses a
galvanometer with a full-scale deflection of 4.34 mA. Determine the voltage that this voltmeter registers when it is connected across
the resistor used in part (a).
(a) Number i 35.15
(b) Number i 19.16

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Two resistors 1830Ω connected in series across a 70.0V .

We know that current = voltageresistor 

Equivalent of resistance of two resistors = 1830Ω+1830Ω = 3660Ω

current in circuit = voltageresistor =70.0V3660Ω =0.019A
