Question:medium
An ammeter, voltmeter and a resistor are connected in series to a cell and the readings are noted as $I$ and $V$. If another resistor $R$ is connected in parallel with voltmeter, then
An ammeter, voltmeter and a resistor are connected in series to a cell and the readings are noted as $I$ and $V$. If another resistor $R$ is connected in parallel with voltmeter, then
Show Hint
Parallel addition always reduces resistance → increases current.

- $I$ and $V$ increase
- $I$ increases
- $I$ and $V$ remain same
- $I$ decreases
- $I$ remains constant
Show Solution
The Correct Option is B
