QAIPMT-2004-Ph-2617: NEET 2004 Physics - Class 12 AIPMT-2004-Ph-2617 Solution: A galvanometer of 50 ohm resistance has 25 divisions. A current …
A galvanometer of 50 ohm resistance has 25 divisions. A current of ampere gives a deflection of one division. To convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter having a range of 25 volts, it should be connected with a resistance of
Multiple Choice Options
- A as a shunt
- B as a shunt
- C in series
- D in series
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
The total current shown by the galvanometer,
I g = 25 _ 4 _ 10 -4 A = 10 -2 A
The value of resistance connected in series to convert galvanometer into voltmeter of 25 V is
V = I g (R e + R g )
_ R e = V I g _ R g = 2450 �
