(iii) potential difference across and .

In the circuit shown all five resistors have the same value and each cell has an emf . Find the open circuit voltage and the short circuit current for the terminals and .

Find the currents through the three resistors shown in figure

Find the value of in figure if (a) , (b) (c) . Note from your answer that in order to get more current from a combination of two batteries they should be joined in parallel if the external resistance is small and in series if the external resistance is large as compared to the internal resistances.

(a) into an ammeter with a range of .
(b) into a voltmeter with a range of .

A voltmeter of resistance is used to measure the potential difference across the resistor in the circuit shown in the figure.
(a) What will be the reading of the voltmeter?
(b) What was the potential difference across before the voltmeter was connected?

An electrical circuit is shown in the figure. Calculate the potential difference across the resistance of as will be measured by the voltmeter of resistance either by applying Kirchhoff's rules or otherwise.
