    A galvanometer of \[50\pi \] resistance has 25 divisions. A current of \[4\times {{10}^{-4}}A\]gives a deflection of one division. To convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter having a range of 25 volt, it should be connected with a resistance of

    A)  \[245\pi \]as shunt      

    B)         \[2450\pi \]as series     

    C)         \[2500\pi \]as shunt     

    D)         \[2550\pi \]in series

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given \[{{R}_{g}}=50\,\Omega ,\] \[{{l}_{g}}=25\times 4\times {{10}^{-4}}A\] \[={{10}^{-2}}A\] Range of   V = 25 volts Resistance, \[R=\frac{V}{{{l}_{g}}}-{{R}_{g}}\] \[=\left( \frac{25}{{{10}^{-2}}}-50 \right)\Omega \]                 \[=2450\,\Omega \] Thus, a resistance of \[2450\,\Omega \]is connected is series to convert it into a voltmeter.
