Assuming a simple circuit with a couple of resistors
Would it just read 0 around 2 points uninterrupted by a resistor?

In a simple circuit, a voltmeter will read 0 at the beginning and end of the circuit, also known as the terminals or nodes. This is because there is no voltage drop or change in potential energy at these points.
No, a voltmeter will not always read 0 in a simple circuit. If there is a battery or power source in the circuit, the voltmeter will read the voltage of the source. Additionally, if there are resistors or other components in the circuit, the voltmeter will read the voltage drops across these components.
If a voltmeter reads 0 in a simple circuit, it could indicate that there is an open circuit or a broken connection in the circuit. It could also mean that there is no power source in the circuit. It is important to check all components and connections to ensure the circuit is complete and functioning properly.
Understanding where a voltmeter reads 0 in a simple circuit is important because it allows us to determine the voltage drops and potential differences throughout the circuit. This information is crucial in analyzing and troubleshooting circuit problems.
To find where a voltmeter reads 0 in a simple circuit, you can place the voltmeter at different points in the circuit and record the readings. The points where the voltmeter reads 0 are the nodes or terminals of the circuit. You can also use the voltmeter to measure the voltage drops across components to determine where the voltage is 0.
