Voltage readings in series are dependant on the circuits total voltage =
(Et), total current (It), and the resistance of the meter, any good VTVM =
or high impedance meter would have shown the full voltage, however an =
old circuit powered meter is a low impedance device. (It) times (meter =
resistance) =3D voltage read.
