In Fig. 27-62, a voltmeter of resistance RV=300and an ammeter of resistance RA=3.00are being used to measure a resistance Rin a circuit that also contains a resistance R0=100and an ideal battery of emf role="math" localid="1664352839658" =12.0V. Resistance Ris given byR=V/i , where V is the voltmeter reading and is the current in resistance R. However, the ammeter reading is inot but rather i', which is iplus the current through the voltmeter. Thus, the ratio of the two meter readings is notR but only an apparent resistanceR'=V/i' . IfR=85.0 , what are (a) the ammeter reading, (b) the voltmeter reading, and (c) R'? (d) IfRV is increased, does the difference between R'and Rincrease, decrease, or remain the same?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. If, the ammeter reading is 7.09102鈥碱.
  2. If, the voltmeter reading is 4.70鈥塚.
  3. The value of resistance R' is 66.3鈥坝.
  4. If RV is increased, the difference between R' and R decreases.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Resistance of voltmeter,RV=300鈥坝

Resistance of ammeter,RA=3.00鈥坝

Resistance present in the circuit," width="9" height="19" role="math">R0=100鈥嬧坝

Emf of the battery in the circuit,=12鈥塚

Extra resistance given is R' and R.

02

Understanding the concept of ammeter and voltmeter reading

Ammeters measure the current of a circuit, and voltmeters measure the voltage drop across a resistor. Thus, using this concept and the use of Ohm's law will determine the required unknown parameters.

Formulae:

The voltage equation using Ohm鈥檚 law,V=IR (1)

The equivalent resistance for the series combination of the resistors,

Req=inRi (2)

03

a) Calculation of the ammeter reading

The currents in R and RV are i and (ii).

Now, the voltmeter reading is the same for the parallel connection of R and RV , thus using equation (1) we get the following resistance relation:

V=iRV=(i'i)RV1=i'ViVRV1RV=1R'1R1R'=1RV+1RR'=RRVR+RV...............................(3)

Now, the equivalent resistance of the circuit combination is given using equations (3) as follows:

Req=RA+R0+R'=RA+R0+RRVR+RV(Fromequation(3))

Thus, the ammeter reading can be given using the above value, equation (3), and the given concept as follows:

i'=RA+R0+RRVR+RV=12.0鈥塚3.00鈥坝+100鈥坝+(300鈥坝)(85鈥坝)/(300鈥坝+85鈥坝)

Hence, the ammeter reading is role="math" localid="1664353694431" 7.09102鈥碱.

04

b) Calculation of the voltmeter reading

Now, the voltmeter reading is given by using equation (1) in equation (2) with the

given data as follows:

V=i'(RA+R0)=12.0鈥塚(0.0709鈥碱)(3.00+100鈥嬧坝)=4.70鈥塚

Hence, the voltmeter reading is 4.70鈥塚.

05

c) Calculation of the value of resistance

As per the problem, the value of the resistance is given as follows:

R'=V'i=4.70鈥塚7.09102A=66.3鈥坝

Hence, the required value of the resistance is 66.3鈥坝.

06

d) Calculation to know the difference between R’ and R

From equation (3), the resistance relation can be given as:

R'R=RRVR+RVR=RRVR2RRVR+RV=R2R+RV

If RA is decreased, the difference between R' and R decreases from the above relation. Again, for the condition RV, the relation becomes R'R.

Hence, the difference value decreases.
