The 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

F4 Vinanti Engineering 29.12.22 D7

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.
