In the two circuits shown, readings of ideal voltmeters V₁, V₂ and ammeters i₁, i₂ will be: [Diagram: Image]

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Step 1: An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance and does not carry current. Step 2: In both circuits, only one 10 Ω conducting path exists across 10 V battery. Step 3: i₁ = i₂ =10/10=1 A and both voltmeters read 10 V.
