d So if connected in series, a very small current will flow or no current will flow. An ideal voltmeter draws $0$ current from the circuit. So when we arrange it in series, It doesn't work as a voltmeter but as resistance and also the reading is shown by the voltmeter is the voltage across its terminals.
The voltmeter reading will be $12 V$.

Two wires of equal diameters, of resistivities ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$ and lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$, respectively, are joined in series. The equivalent resistivity of the combination is
In the circuit shown, a meter bridge is in its balanced state. The meter bridge wire has a resistance $0.1\, ohm/cm$. The value of unknown resistance $X$ and the current drawn from the battery of negligible resistance is
The resistances in the two arms of the meter bridge are $5 \,\Omega$ and $R \,\Omega$ respectively. When the resistance $R$ is shunted with an equal resistance, the new balance point is at $1.6\,l_1$. The resistance $R$ is .................. $\Omega$
The equivalent resistance of a group of resistances is $R$. If another resistance is connected in parallel to the group , its new equivalent becomes $R_1$ and if it is connected in series to the group , its new equivalent becomes $R_2$ we have :
In the circuit shown below $E_1\, =4.0\, V$, $R_1\, = 2\,\Omega$, $E_2\, = 6.0\, V$, $R_2\, = 4\,\Omega$ and $R_3\, = 2\,\Omega$. The current $I_1$ is ............... $\mathrm{A}$
An electric current is passed through a circuit containing two wires of the same material, connected in parallel. If the lengths and radii of the wires are in the ratio of $4/3$ and $2/3$, then the ratio of the currents passing through the wire will be
