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 $12 V$.

The figure shows three circuits $I, II$ and $III$ which are connected to a $3\,V$ battery. If the powers dissipated by the configurations $I, II$ and $III$ are $P_1 , P_2$ and $P_3$ respectively, then
In the circuit shown below, a student performing Ohm's law experiment accidently puts the voltmeter and the ammeter as shown in the circuit below. The reading in the voltmeter will be close to .......... $V$
Two batteries, one of $emf$ $18\, volts$ and internal resistance $2\,\Omega $ and the other of $emf$ $12\, volt$ and internal resistance $1\,\Omega $, are connected as shown. The voltmeter $V$ will record a reading of .............. $\mathrm{volt}$
