The meter indicate the correct readings for this circuit.

1. Sympotm: The ammeter reading is zero, and the voltmeter reading is 0 V.

Cause: $\begin{array}{l}\left(\text{a}\right)\text{ R is open}\text{.}\\ \left(\text{b}\right)\text{ R is shorted}\text{.}\\ \left(\text{c}\right)\text{ The voltage source is turned off or faulty}\text{.}\end{array}$
