Three voltmeters, all having different internal resistances are joined as shown in figure. When some potential difference is applied across A and B, their readings are V1,V2 and V3. Choose the correct option.

  1. V1=V2
  2. V1V3-V2
  3. V1+V2>V3
  4. V1+V2=V3

Solution

Let's consider the following diagram:

According to the Kirchhoff's voltage law, the algebraic sum of the voltages in a closed loop is zero.

From the above figure, it can be written that

V1+V2-V3=0V1+V2=V3
