To study the dependence of current on the potential difference across a resistor, two students used the two setups shown in figs. and respectively. They kept the contact in different positions marked (1), (2), (3), (4) in the two figures.

For the two students, their ammeter and voltmeter readings will be minimum when the contact is in the position:

To determine the equivalent resistance of two resistors, when connected in series, the correct way of connecting the ammeter and voltmeter in the circuit is:

A battery (of internal resistance ) is connected across a resistor and a switch in series, as shown:
If the switch is kept in the off position, as shown in the figure, then:




The correct reason is:


The number of divisions in ammeter of range is and voltmeter of range is . When the switch of the circuit given below is closed, ammeter reading is at division and voltmeter reading is at division. The value of resistance of the resistor is
