If two 300 V full-scale voltmeters V₁ and V₂ having sensitivity of 100kΩ/V and 150kΩ/V are connected to measure 500 V, as shown in fig, then 

The correct answer is option 2):(V1, will read 200V and V2 will read 300 V.)

Concept:

Resistance of voltmeter = Sensitivity × Full-scale deflection reading

By using the voltage division rule,

The voltage applied across the resistor R₁ is 

The voltage applied across the resistor R₂ is 

Calculation:

Given

Sensitivity of V₁ = S₁ = 100 kΩ/V

Resistance of V₁ = R_m1 = 100 × 300 = 30 MΩ

Sensitivity of V₂ = S₂ = 150 kΩ/V

Resistance of V₂ = R_m2 =150 × 300 = 45 MΩ

By Voltage division rule
