Pls explain how the answer is option c:

1. A Student uses a baterry of adjustable voltage 0-6V. She has to perform an experiment to determine the equivalent resistance of two resistors when connect in parallel using two resistors of value 3  Ω  and 5 
Ω . The best choice of combination of voltmeter and ammeter to be used in the experiment is.

(c) Ammeter of range 0-2A and voltmeter or range 0-10v.



 

Dear student,As two are connected in parallel net resistance will be,1R=13+15R=1.875OhmAs two are connected in parallel, so voltage will be same in both resistor,maximum Current in 5ohm resistor=65=1.2Amaximum Current in 8ohm resistor=85=1.6Asince maximum current drawn is less than 2A , so ammeter of range 0-2A and voltmeter of range 0-10V will be best choice.Regards
