Question

 A circuit includes a battery, two identical resistors and five ammeters, P, Q, R, S and T.

Which statement about the readings on the ammeters is not correct?

  1. P has a greater reading than Q.
  2. P has a greater reading than R.
  3. P has a greater reading than S.
  4. P has a greater reading than T.
Answer/Explanation

Ans:

A

Question

 A circuit contains a cell of electromotive force (e.m.f.) $2.0 \mathrm{~V}$, three resistors, three ammeters and two voltmeters. One ammeter is labelled $\mathrm{P}$ and one voltmeter is labelled $\mathrm{Q}$.


The readings on the other two ammeters and on the other voltmeter are shown.

What is the reading on ammeter $\mathrm{P}$ and what is the reading on voltmeter $\mathrm{Q}$ ?

Answer/Explanation

Ans:A
