Homework Statement



A voltmeter with resistance R_V is connected across the terminals of a battery of emf EMF and internal resistance r. Find the potential difference V_meter measured by the voltmeter.

Homework Equations



v=IR Vab= Va -Vb

The Attempt at a Solution



tried using equations with epsolon.
