A battery of electromotive force E is connected in series with a resistance R and a voltmeter. An ammeter is connected in parallel with the battery. Then

A

only voltmeter is likely to be damaged

B

only ammeter is likely to be damaged

C

neither the ammeter nor the voltmeter will be damaged

D

both ammeter and voltmeter are likely to be damaged.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Because `R gt gt R_(A) and R_(V) gt gt R` so no instrument will be damaged
