2\,\text{k}\Omega

resistor is connected in series with a

4\,\text{k}\Omega

resistor across a

24\,\text{V}

ideal source. A voltmeter having an internal resistance of

1\,\text{k}\Omega

is connected across the

2\,\text{k}\Omega

resistor. (i) Calculate the reading shown by the voltmeter. (ii) Determine the percentage error in the measured potential difference across the

2\,\text{k}\Omega

resistor due to the loading effect of the voltmeter.
