Voltmeter Loading Effect in Parallel Circuit

Question

In a DC circuit, the potential difference across a parallel combination of resistors $$R_2$$ and $$R_3$$ is $$V_0$$. When a voltmeter with internal resistance $$R_v$$ is connected in parallel with these resistors, what is its reading?

Accepted Answer

$$V_0 	imes \dfrac{R_2 \parallel R_3 \parallel R_v}{R_2 \parallel R_3}$$

Answer

$$V_0 	imes \dfrac{R_v + R_2}{R_v}$$

Answer

$$V_0 	imes \dfrac{R_2}{R_v + R_2}$$

Answer

$$V_0 	imes \dfrac{R_v}{R_v + R_2\parallel R_3}$$
