Problem

A cell of emf 3.4 V3.4\ \text{V} and internal resistance 3 Ω3\ \Omega is connected to an ammeter of resistance 2 Ω2\ \Omega and an external resistance of 100 Ω100\ \Omega. When a voltmeter is connected across the 100 Ω100\ \Omega resistance, the ammeter reading is 0.04 A0.04\ \text{A}. Find the voltage reading of the voltmeter and its resistance. Had the voltmeter been ideal, what would its reading have been?
