Questions  

An ammeter and a voltmeter of resistance R are connected in series to an electric cell of negligible internal resistance. Their readings arc A and V, respectively. If another resistance R is connected in parallel with the voltmeter, then

a
both A and V will increase
b
both A and V will decrease
c
A will decrease and V will increase
d
A will increase and V will decrease

detailed solution

Correct option is D

After connecting a resistance R in parallel with the voltmeter, its effective resistance decreases. Hence, less voltage appears across it, i.e., V will decrease. Since overall resistance decreases, so more current will flow, i.e., A will increase.
