The internal resistance of a 20,000 ohm/volt voltmeter set on its 5 V range is_____________?

Correct answer: B. 100,000 Ω

  • A. 20,000 Ω
  • B. 100,000 Ω
  • C. 200,000 Ω
  • D. 1,000,000 Ω

Explanation

Voltmeter resistance equals sensitivity multiplied by the selected range: 20,000 Ω/V × 5 V = 100,000 Ω. This high resistance limits the meter's loading of the measured circuit.
