PD between X and Y is Vx Y=Vx-VY=1 × 4 and PD between X and Z is Vx z=Vx-Vz=1 × 16=16 V <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/6869a55764f3e33f29e5a1f949787446-.png" /> Now, we get potential difference between Y and Z i.e., reading of voltmeter is VY-VZ=12 V

Q. In the following circuit reading of voltmeter $V$ is

12 V

8 V

20 V

16 V

PD between $X$ and $Y$ is $V_{x Y} = V_{x} - V_{Y} = 1 \times 4$
and PD between $X$ and $Z$ is
$V_{x z} = V_{x} - V_{z} = 1 \times 16 = 16 V$

Now, we get potential difference between $Y$ and $Z$
i.e., reading of voltmeter is $V_{Y} - V_{Z} = 12 V$

Q. In the following circuit reading of voltmeter V is

12 V

8 V

20 V

16 V

PD between X and Y is VxY​=Vx​−VY​=1×4 and PD between X and Z is Vxz​=Vx​−Vz​=1×16=16V Now, we get potential difference between Y and Z i.e., reading of voltmeter is VY​−VZ​=12V

Q. In the following circuit reading of voltmeter $V$ is

PD between $X$ and $Y$ is $V_{x Y} = V_{x} - V_{Y} = 1 \times 4$
and PD between $X$ and $Z$ is
$V_{x z} = V_{x} - V_{z} = 1 \times 16 = 16 V$

Now, we get potential difference between $Y$ and $Z$
i.e., reading of voltmeter is $V_{Y} - V_{Z} = 12 V$
