The emf source resistance is equal to the bulb's resistance. The voltmeter has some big resistance and it shows 6volts.

What will the voltmeter show when the bulb burns out ?






Homework Equations



I think this is the equation needed : EMF=IR+Ir



The Attempt at a Solution



I don't know how to solve this please give a hint.

EMF=IR+Ir
In the above equation it is given that r = R and IR = 6 V.
Then what is the EMF?
