  • question_answer
                A galvanometer has 30 divisions and a sensitivity \[16\mu A/di\text{v}\]. It can be converted into a voltmeter to read 3 V by connecting resistance nearly

    A) \[6k\Omega \]in series     

    B)   \[6k\Omega \]in parallel

    C) \[500\Omega \] in series

    D) \[500\Omega \]in parallel

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] : \[{{I}_{g}}=16\times 30\mu A=480\times {{10}^{-6}}A\] Let G be the resistance of galvanometer and R be the resistance connected in series to convert the galvanometer into voltmeter of range 0 to 3 V. Then,\[G+R=\frac{V}{{{I}_{g}}}=\frac{3}{480\times {{10}^{-6}}}\] \[=6.25\times {{10}^{3}}=5.25k\Omega \] \[\therefore \]A resistance R nearly \[6k\Omega \]. is to be used in series.
