Three voltmeters A, B and C having resistances R, `1.5R` and 3R respectively, are used in a circuit as shown. When a potential difference is applied between X and Y, the readings of the voltmeters are `V_(1), V_(2)` and `V_(3)` respectively. Then,

A

`V_(A) = V_(B) = V_(C)`

B

`V_(A) != V_(B) = V_(C)`

C

V_(A) = V_(B) != V_(C)`

D

V_(B) != V_(A) = V_(C)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`V_(B) = iR`,
`V_(B) = (2i)/(3) xx 1.5 R = iR`, `V_(C) = (i//3)(3R) = iR`
