Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 2):(2 A and 0 V)
Concept:
The resistance of the ideal ammeter is zero
When two resistors are connected in series the total resistance will be the sum of individual resistors
The current I =\(Voltage \over Resistance\)
Calculation:
Given
R = 2+ 3 = 5
I = \(V \over R\)
= \(10 \over 5\) = 2A
The voltmeter is connected across the ammeter so there is a voltage drop in the ammeter because The resistance of the ideal ammeter is zero
Voltmeter reads zero.
In the circuit shown below, the reading of the ideal ammeter and voltmeter, respectively, will be 2 A and 0 V.
