A 35 V dc supply is connected across a resistance of 600 ohm in series with an unknown resistance Rx. A voltmeter having a resistance of 1.2 k-ohm is connected across 600 ohm resistance and reads 5V. The value of resistance Rx will be _________kΩ
-
- 2.4
- 2.1
- 2.5
- 2.9
Correct Option: A
Voltage across R1, V1 = 35 – 5 = 30V
Current in the circuit, I = | = | A | |||
400 | |||||
600 + 1200 |
∴ Rx = | = 2.4 kΩ | |
