Redraw the circuit of question-12, putting in an ammeter to measure the current through the resistors and a voltmeter to measure the potential difference across the resistor. What would be the reading in the ammeter and the voltmeter?

Answer:

                    The completed circuit diagram is given below:                       For the whole circuit,                       Total resistance                       Total applied voltage                       Then,                       current flowing through the resistors,                                                                                             So, the ammeter will show a reading of 0.24 A.                       Voltage across the  resistor                               So, the voltmeter will show a reading of 2.88 V
