For the circuit shown, P is a potentiometer with total resistance $10\,\Omega$ and Q is a fixed resistor with resistance $10\,\Omega$. The battery has an electromotive force (e.m.f.) of $4.0\,\text{V}$ and negligible internal resistance. The voltmeter has a very high resistance. The slider on the potentiometer is shifted from X to Y, and a graph of voltmeter reading $V$ is drawn against slider position. Which graph would be obtained?
