    The voltmeter reading is determined by calculating the equivalent resistance of a circuit with 5 resistors in series (R1=5Ω, R2=4.4Ω, R3=7.7Ω, R4=4.5Ω, R5=4.8Ω) with a voltage source of 8.2V. The equivalent resistance is found to be 26.4Ω. Using this, the current is calculated to be 0.31A. The voltage dropped across each resistor is then calculated by multiplying the current and resistance value. The voltmeter would read 1.55V as it is connected across R1.

    1. Determine the reading of the voltmeter shown in the figure.

    Consider the values of the


    resistors as: R1 = 5Ω, R2 = 4.4Ω, R3 = 7.7Ω, R4 = 4.5Ω, R5 = 4.8Ω and that the source
    provides a voltage V = 8.2V.

    For this one

    Req=R 1+ R 2+ R 3+ R 4 + R 5

    Then

    Req=5+4.4 +7.7+ 4.5+4.8=26.4 Ω

    So

    V 8.2
    i= = =0.31 A
    Req 26.4

    V1= iR1=5×0.31 =1.55V

    V2=iR2= 4.4×0.31 =1.364V

    V3= iR3 = 7.7×0.31=2.387V

    V4= iR4= 0.31×4.5=1.395V

    V5= iR5 = 0.31×4.8=1.488V
