Measuring the voltage across a 10 M\( \Omega \) resistor in a divider with a 10 M\( \Omega \) voltmeter would give a reading that is

  • A.correct
  • B.too high by a third
  • C.too low by half
  • D.too low by a third

Answer: D

The instrument puts ten megohms across ten megohms, giving five, so the divider ratio changes from a half to a third. The reading is therefore two thirds of the true value. High resistance circuits need an electrometer input or a much higher impedance instrument.
