Question

Assume that a resistor is connected between the 150 V terminal and the common terminal. The voltmeter is then connected to an unknown voltage using the common terminal and the 300 V terminal. The voltmeter reads 288 V.What is the unknown voltage

Answer 1

Answer: $316.8V$

Explanation:

given data:

metre moving current = $0.96mA$

meters voltage = $288V$

or  $0.96*300V = 288V$

Solution:

$v1 = (0.96mA*150)$

$= 144V$

$i1 = \frac{144v}{750}$

$= 0.192mA$

$i2 = imovement + i1$

$i2= 0.96mA+0.192mA$

$= 1.152mA$

$Vmeasured = 144V+(150)(1.152mA)$

$=316.8V$

the unknown voltage is 316.8V
