A battery of emf 12V and internal resistance 2 ohm is connected to a 4 ohm resistor as shown in the figure.

a) Show that a voltmeter when placed across the cell and across the resistor, in turn, gives the same reading.

b) To record the voltage and the current in the circuit, why is voltmeter placed in parallel and ammeter in series in the circuit?


a) Emf, E = 12 V

Internal resistance, r = 2V

Now, using the formula,

E = V + Ir

space space space space space space straight E space equals space straight V space plus space Ir
rightwards double arrow space straight V space equals space straight E space minus space Ir

straight E space equals space 12 space straight V space semicolon space straight r space equals space 2 space straight capital omega

straight V space equals space 12 space minus space 2 straight I

When the voltmeter is connected across the cell,

I = fraction numerator 12 over denominator 4 plus 2 end fraction space equals space 2 space A
V1 = 12 - 2(2) = 8 V

When the voltmeter is connected across the resistor,

V2 = IR

    = 2 x 4 = 8 V

That is, V1 = V2

Hence proved.

b) Voltmeter has very high resistance to ensure that it is connection does not alter the flow of current in the circuit. Current chooses the low resistance path. Therefore, voltmeter is connected in parallel to the load across which potential difference is to be measured.

Ammeter measures the value of current flowing through the circuit. Ammeter has a very low value of resistance to ensure that all the current flows through it. Hence, it should be connected in series.

Ram is a student of class X in a village school. His uncle gifted him a bicycle with a dynamo fitted in it. He was very excited to get it. While cycling during night, he could light the bulb and see the objects on the road. He, however, did not know how this device works. He asked this question to his teacher. The teacher considered it an opportunity to explain the working to the whole class.

Answer the following questions:

(a) State the principle and working of a dynamo.
(b) Write two values each displayed by Ram and his school teacher.
