    A galvanometer having a resistance of \[20\,\Omega \]and 30 divisions on both sides has figure of merit 0.005 ampere/division. The resistance that should be connected in series such that it can be used as a voltmeter upto 15 volt, is [JEE  Main Online Paper (Held on 11-jan-2019 Evening)]

    A) \[80\,\Omega \]   

    B) \[125\,\Omega \]

    C) \[120\,\Omega \]           

    D)   \[100\,\Omega \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{R}_{G}}=20\Omega ,\,\,{{I}_{g}}=0.005\times 30=0.150A\] To read 15 V \[({{R}_{G}}+R){{I}_{g}}=15\] \[{{R}_{G}}+R=\frac{15}{0.15}=100\] \[R=100-{{R}_{G}}=100-20=80\Omega .\]
