Current in the circuit,
\(I=\frac{\text { effective emf }}{\text { total resistance }}=\frac{5}{1.6} \,A\)
The potential difference across voltmeter will be same as the terminal voltage of either cell.
Since the current is drawn from the cell of \(15\, \mathrm{V}\)
\(\therefore \quad V_{1}=E_{1}-I r_{1}\)
\(=15-\frac{5}{1.6} \times 0.6=13.1 \,\mathrm{V}\)
