Physics · Electrical Measurements
When measuring voltage across a high-resistance circuit, the reading of an analog voltmeter is found to be significantly lower than the actual open-circuit voltage. The most likely reason is:
- 1The AC supply voltage is continuously fluctuating
- 2The voltmeter is mistakenly connected in series instead of parallel
- 3The voltmeter has low internal resistance causing a loading effect✓
- 4The voltmeter has excessively high sensitivity
Correct answer
The voltmeter has low internal resistance causing a loading effect
