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