Meter resistances for a circuit are R = 10,000 for the voltmeter, and R = 2.00 for the ammeter. If the voltmeter reads 12.0 V and the ammeter reads 0.100 A, what is the potential difference across the resistor?
Added by Remedios G.
Step 1
We know that the ammeter reads 0.100 A, so the current passing through the resistor is also 0.100 A. Show more…
