In above figure if the internal resistance of voltmeter is 5M ohm the voltmeter will display:

  1. 1.2 V
  2. 2.4 V
  3. 4 V
  4. 8 V

Correct answer: 2. 2.4 V

Solution: 5 Mohm internal resistance will reduce the overall resistance to 2.5 M ohm. Now from voltage divider rule:

V = {2.5/(2.5 + 10)} * 12 V = 2.4 V
