SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the behavior of voltmeter readings in two different circuit diagrams. It is established that a straight line in a circuit diagram represents an equipotential, indicating that the voltage remains constant across that line. Therefore, if the voltmeter is placed across two points on the same equipotential line, the readings will be the same. Conversely, if the voltmeter measures across different equipotential lines, the readings will differ.
