Question

Voltmeter Figure 3.3: Circuit used to observe the effect of test equipment on a measurement.

Internal resistance problem. Suppose that in Figure 3.3, Vo=10VVo=10V, R1=175kΩR1=175kΩ, R2=400kΩR2=400kΩ, and Ri=1MΩRi=1MΩ. Initially, the voltmeter is disconnected.
EXAMPLES:
What is the voltage across R2R2? [Answer: 6.95652173913043 V.]
What is the voltage across R2R2 with the meter connected? [Answer: 6.2015503875969 V.]
QUESTION:
If the internal resistance of the meter were 14 M ΩΩ, what is the voltage across R2R2?

Thanks ahead

Answer #1

with the meter disconnected the voltage across R2 is calculated using voltage division rule.

with the meter connected, the effective resistance of R2 parallel with Ri is calculated and the voltage across R2 is calculated.

with Ri=14Mohm the effective resistance is calculated and the voltage across R2 is calculated.
