For the circuit shown in Figure, the ideal voltmeter reads 6.00 V and the ideal ammeter reads 3.00 mA. Find (a) the emf of the battery, and (b) the voltage across the 3.00-kΩ resistor.

 

The circuit in the diagram consists of a battery with EMF , a resistor with resistance R and an ammeter and voltmeter. The voltmeter and ammeter can be considered as ideal that is their resistances are infinity and zero respectively. The current in the resistor is I and the voltage is V. The internal resistance of battery is not zero.

To understand how to compute power dissipation in a resistive circuit.

(Figure 1) The circuit in the diagram consists of a battery with EMF E, a resistor with resistance R, an ammeter, and a voltmeter. The voltmeter and the ammeter (labeled V and A) can be considered ideal; that is, their resistances are infinity and zero, respectively. The current in the resistor is I, and the voltage across it is V. The internal resistance of the battery rint is not zero.

Part A. What is the ammeter reading I? Express your answer in terms of ε, R, and rint.
