A 35 V DC supply is connected across a resistance in series with an unknown resistance R. a voltmeter having a resistance of 1.2 kΩ is connected across 600 Ω resistance and reads 5 V. The value of the known resistance is 600 Ω. The value of resistance R will be?(a) 120 Ω(b) 400 Ω(c) 1.8 kΩ(d) 2.4 kΩThis question was addressed to me in final exam.Question is from Advanced Miscellaneous Problems on Measurement of Resistance topic in section Measurement of Resistance of Electrical Measurements

Answer»

Correct option is (d) 2.4 kΩ

To EXPLAIN: Voltage across R1, V1 = 35 – 5 = 30 V

Current in the CIRCUIT, I = \(\displaystyle\frac{5}{\frac{600 ×1200}{600+1200}} = \frac{5}{400}\) A

R = \(\frac{30 × 400}{5}\) = 2.4 kΩ.
