Paper 1 · Current Electricity
The diagram shows two resistors of resistance 5000Ω and 2500Ω connected in series. A potential difference of 120V is maintained across them. The potential difference across the 5000Ω resistor is measured using a voltmeter of internal resistance 5000Ω. What is the reading of the voltmeter?
A120V
B80V
C60V
D40V
