SUMMARY
The discussion centers on solving an Ohm's Law problem using the formula V=IR, specifically addressing the challenge of determining the voltmeter reading in a circuit with two equal resistors. The provided answer is ɛ/2, which the original poster struggles to derive. Key points include the importance of an ideal voltmeter having infinite resistance to prevent current flow into the device, and the application of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) in analyzing the circuit. The discussion also highlights the need for clearer problem presentation, suggesting the use of LaTeX for mathematical expressions.
