d So if connected in series, a very small current will flow or no current will flow. An ideal voltmeter draws $0$ current from the circuit. So when we arrange it in series, It doesn't work as a voltmeter but as resistance and also the reading is shown by the voltmeter is the voltage across its terminals.
The voltmeter reading will be $12 V$.

Two identical heaters rated $220\, volt$, $1000\, watt$ are placed in series with each other across $220 \,volt$ lines. If resistance do not change with temperature, then the combined power is ............. $watt$
Two wires $A$ and $B$ made of same material and having their lengths in the ratio $6 : 1$ are connected in series. The potential difference across the wires are $3\,V$ and $2\,V$ respectively. If $r_A$ and $r_B$ are the radii of $A$ and $B$ respectively, then $\frac{{{r_B}}}{{{r_A}}}$ is
In the circuit shown in figure, the power which is dissipated as heat in the $6\,\Omega $ resistor is $6\,W$. What is the value of resistance $R$ in the circuit? ................ $\Omega$
The current in a simple series circuit is $5.0\, amp$. When an additional resistance of $2.0\, ohms$ is inserted, the current drops to $4.0\, amp$. The original resistance of the circuit in $ohms$ was
In the Wheatstone's bridge shown, $P = 2\,\Omega ,$ $Q = 3\,\Omega ,$ $R = 6\,\Omega $ and $S = 8\,\Omega $. In order to obtain balance, shunt resistance across '$S$' must be .............. $\Omega$
A house is served by $220\, V$ supply line in a circuit protected by a $9\, ampere$ fuse. The maximum number of $60\, W$ lamps in parallel that can be turned on, is
A $500\, W$ heating unit is designed to operate from a $115\, volt$ line. If the line voltage drops to $110\, volt$, the percentage drop in heat output will be ............... $\%$
