Answer:
Part A: 16.1 V
Part B: 20.5 V
Part C: 21.5%
Explanation:
The voltmeter is in parallel with the 4.5-kΩ resistor and the combination is in series with the 6.5-kΩ resistor. The equivalent resistance of the parallel combination is given as
Part A
The voltmeter reading is the potential difference across the parallel combination. This is found by using the voltage-divider rule.
Part B
Without the voltmeter, the potential difference across the 4.5-kΩ resistor is found using the same rule as above:
Part C
The error in % is given by
