A wattmeter is connected as shown in the figure given below. The wattmeter reads
-
- zero always
- total power consumed by Z1 and Z2
- power consumed by Z1
- power consumed by Z2
Correct Option: D
Since potential coil draws negligible current, IP ≈ 0 and current through Z1 and Z2 will be same.
Then, wattmeter will read power consumed by Z2, P = IC .V where V is potential across Z2.
