Question

A student has three voltmeters across three resistances R1, R2 and R3 as shown in the circuit.

Given that R1 < R2 < R3 (i) Write V1, V2 and V3 in decreasing order of the reading shown by

each of them. (ii) What will you observe about the potential difference across the series the series

combination?

Answer 1

1V1is greater than V2is greater than V3 2.that potential difference across each individual resistance would be sum of the total potential difference across the circuit. Potential difference will vary across each resistors.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that V=IR

So resistance is directly proportional to potential difference

As the resistance increases voltage increases

So,V3>V2>V1

The potential difference is different in each resistor.
