Electrical and Electronics Measurements

  1. 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
    1. 2.4
    2. 2.1
    3. 2.5
    4. 2.9
Correct Option: A

Voltage across R1, V1 = 35 – 5 = 30V

Current in the circuit, I =
E
=
1
A
600 × 1200
400
600 + 1200

∴ Rx =
30 × 400
= 2.4 kΩ
