Question

Draw a schematic diagram of an electric circuit (in the “on” position) consisting of a battery of five cells of 2 V each, a 5 Ω resistor, a 8 Ω resistor, a 12 Ω resistor and a plug key, all connected in series. An ammeter is put in the circuit to measure the electric current through the resistors and a voltmeter is connected so as to measure the potential difference across the 12 Ω resistor.
Calculate the reading shown by the: (a) ammeter (b) voltmeter in the below electric circuit
