Consider the scale of a voltmeter shown in the diagram and answer the following questions:(a) What is the least count of the voltmeter?(b) What is the reading shown by the voltmeter?(c) If this voltmeter is connected across a resistor of 20Ω
(a) Maximum value of voltmeter = 3.0 (given)
Total count of marking in the voltmeter= 20
Therefore,
Least count of voltmeter = $\frac {3}{20}=0.15V$
(b) Reading shown by the voltmeter is-
$\Rightarrow 1.5+0.15+0.15$ $(\because each\ marking\ has\ the\ value\ 0.15)$
$\Rightarrow 1.8V$.
(c) Given:
Resistor, $R=20\Omega$
Reading of voltmeter, $V=1.8V$
To find: Current flowing through the resistor, $I$.
Solution:
By Ohm's law, we know that,
$V=I\times R$
In terms of $I$ it is given as-
$I=\frac {V}{R}$
Putting the required values, we get-
$I=\frac {1.8}{20}$
$I=0.09A$
Thus, the current flowing through the resistor is 0.09A.
