    In the given circuit, the voltmeter records 5 volts. The resistance of the voltmeter in ohms is:

    A)  200                                       

    B)  100

    C)  10                                         

    D)  50

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the resistance of voltmeter is \[G\,\,\Omega \]. \[\therefore \] Total resistance of the circuit                 \[R=\left( \frac{G\times 100}{G+100}+50 \right)\,\Omega \] Total current \[i=\frac{V}{R}\]                 \[=\frac{10}{\left( \frac{G\times 100}{G\times 100}+50 \right)}\] Voltage across 100 Q resistance \[=i\,\left( \frac{G\times 100}{G+100} \right)=\frac{10}{\left( \frac{G\times 100}{G\times 100}+50 \right)}\times \left( \frac{G\times 100}{G+100} \right)\] Reading of voltmeter = 5 volts \[\therefore \] Voltage across \[100\,\,\Omega =5\] volts \[\therefore \]  \[=\frac{10}{\left( \frac{G\times 100}{G+100}+50 \right)}\times \left( \frac{G\times 100}{G+100} \right)\] On solving \[G=100\,\,\Omega \]
