Question:

A circuit consists of a series combination of 6.00-kΩ and S.00-kΩ resistors connected across a 50.0-V battery having negligible internal resistance. You want to measure the true potential difference (that is, the potential difference without the meter present) across the 5.00-kΩ resistor using a voltmeter having an internal resistance of 10.0 kΩ.
(a) What potential difference does the voltmeter measure across the 5.00-kΩ resistor?
(b) What is the true potential difference across this resistor when the meter is not present?
(c) By what percentage is the voltmeter reading in error from the true potential difference?
