Problem

Two resistors

R_1 = 5\,\text{k}\Omega

and

R_2 = 5\,\text{k}\Omega

are connected in series across a

10\,\text{V}

battery of negligible internal resistance. A voltmeter of internal resistance

R_v = 5\,\text{k}\Omega

is used to measure the potential difference across

R_2

. What reading will the voltmeter show? a)

6.7\,\text{V}

2.5\,\text{V}

3.3\,\text{V}

5.0\,\text{V}
