Three voltmeters, all having different internal resistances are joined as shown in figure. When some potential difference is applied across $\mathrm{A}$ and $B$, their readings are $V_1, V_2$ and $V_3$. Choose the correct option.
The resistance in the two arms of a 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 resistances of the platinum wire of a platinum resistance thermometer at the ice point and steam point are $8 \Omega$ and $10 \Omega$ respectively. After inserting in a hot bath of temperature $400^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, the resistance of platinum wire is:
In a Wheatstone’s bridge all the four arms have equal resistance $R$. If the resistance of the galvanometer arm is also $R$, the equivalent resistance of the combination as seen by the battery is
