The instantaneous voltages at three terminals marked $X, Y$ and $Z$ are given by
$V_x = V_0 \sin \omega t$
$V_y = V_0 \sin \left(\omega t + \frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)$
$V_z = V_0 \sin \left(\omega t + \frac{4 \pi}{3}\right)$
An ideal voltmeter is configured to read the $rms$ value of the potential difference between its terminals. It is connected between points $X$ and $Y$ and then between $Y$ and $Z$. The reading$(s)$ of the voltmeter will be:
$[A]$ $V_{XY}^{rms} = V_0 \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$
$[B]$ $V_{YZ}^{rms} = V_0 \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}$
$[C]$ $V_{XY}^{rms} = V_0$
$[D]$ independent of the choice of the two terminals

  • A
    $A, C$
  • B
    $A, B$
  • C
    $A, D$
  • D
    $A, C, D$
