Magnetic field due to currentHard

Question

A moving coil galvanometer has 150 equal divisions. Its current sensitivity is 10 divisions per milli ampere and voltage sensitivity is 2 divisions per millivolt. In order that each division reads 1 V, the resistance in Ohm′s needed to be connected in series with the coil will be -

Options

A.103
B.105
C.99995
D.9995

Solution

Ig = × 10-3 = 0.015 A
Vg = × 10-3 = 0.075 V ∴ G = = 5Ω
If R  = resistance to be added in series, I (G + R) = V
⇒ 0.015 (5+R) = 150 × 1 ⇒ R = 9995Ω
