Voltmeter 2 55V calculates the internal resistance of the battery pack
However, if the voltmeter in question has a lead-to-lead resistance of 10 MΩ (a common amount for a modern digital voltmeter), its resistance will create a parallel subcircuit with the lower resistor of the divider when connected, shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. Example voltmeter with a lead-to-lead resistance of 10 MΩ, creating a parallel ...
