`I_b=(V_(BB)-V_(BE))/R_(1)`
If `R_(1)` is increased `I_b` will decrease. Since `beta=I_c//I_b` or `I_=betaI_b`, therefore as `I_b` decreases. Due to it, ammeter reading will decrease. The potential difference across `R_(2)` also decreases, i.e., voltmeter reading also decreases.

If the resistance R_(1) is increased how will the reading of the ammeter and voltmeter change

If the resistance R_(1) is increased (see figure), how will the reading of the ammeter and voltmeter change ?

In the circuit shown here, the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter are

In the circuit shown, the reading of the voltmeter and the ammeter are

An ammeter of zero resistance and a volt meter are connected in series to a battery of emf 6.0 volt and certain internal resistance. When a resistance R is connected in parallel with the voltmeter the readings of the voltmeter becomes half of its initial reading and the reading of the ammeter becomes 2 times to its initial reading (before R is connected). Find the voltmeter reading in volt after the connection of the resistance.

A galvanometer (coil resistance 99 Omega .) is converted into an ammeter using a shunt of 1 Omega and connected as shown in figure (a). The ammeter reads 3 A . The same galvanometer is convened into a voltmeter by connecting a resistance of 101 Omega in series. This voltmeter is connected at, shown in figure (b). Its reading is found to be 4/5 of the full scale reading. Find : (a) internal resistance r of the cell (b) range of the ammeter and voltmeter (c) full scale deflection current of the galvanometer.

The ammeter A reads 2A and the voltmeter V reads 20V, the value of resistance R is (Assuming finite resistance's of ammeter and voltmeter)

If by mistake Ammeter is connected parallel to the resistance then i-V curve expected is (Here i = reading of ammeter, V= reading of voltmeter)
