उत्तर

When the switch S is opened, resistance 60Ω  is not connected in the circuit and current flows through the 20Ω resistor.

∴ Resistance of the circuit. when the switch is open:

R = 20 + 5

= 25 Ω

Given, voltage = 10 V

∴ Current through the circuit, 

I = `V/R`

 = `10/25`

= 0.4 A

The reading of the ammeter is thus 0 .4 A, when the switch is open.
