Question

what would be the reading of ammeter and voltmeter in the given circuit​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total resistance = 1+2 = 3 ohm

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 3/3 = 1 A

∴ Reading in the ammeter = 1 A

Voltmeter is connected in parallel to 2 ohm resistance

V = IR

V = 1*2

V = 2 V

∴ Reading in the voltmeter = 2 V

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

The ammeter is connected in series with the circuit. So its reading will show the value of the current flowing in the circuit. Hence, the reading of the ammeter is equal to 1A. Hence, the voltmeter will show a reading of 2V.
