Q. In the circuit shown in figure, an ideal ammeter and an ideal voltmeter are used. When the key is open, the voltmeter reads $1.53\, V$. When the key is closed, the ammeter reads $1.0$ A and the voltmeter reads $1.03\, V$. The resistance $R$ isPhysics Question Image

Current Electricity

Solution:

A careful analysis would show that the voltage along $R$ is $1.03\, V$.
So $1.03=1 \times R $
or $ R=1.03 \,\Omega$
