In measuring a voltage, a voltimeter uses some current from the circuit. Consequently, the voltage measured is only an approximation to the voltage present when the voltmeter is not connected. Consider a circuit consisting of two 3000-Ω resistors connected in series across a 60.0-V battery. A non-digital voltmeter has a full-scale voltage of 60.0 V and uses a galvanometer with a full-scale deflection of 5.00 mA. What is the difference (VA - VB) between A) the voltage across one of the two resistors and B) the voltage that this voltmeter registers when it is connected across one of the two resistors

A non-digital voltmeter has a full-scale voltage of 60.0 V and uses a galvanometer with a full-scale deflection of 5.00 mA. What is the difference (VA - VB) between A) the voltage across one of the two resistors and B) the voltage that this voltmeter registers when it is connected across one of the two resistors?
