Question

When a current of 5 mA is passed through a galvanometer having a coil of resistance 15 Ω, it shows full scale deflection. The value of the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer to convert it into a voltmeter of range 0-10 V is

Options

A.

1.985 × 103Ω

B.

2.045 × 103Ω

C.

2.535 × 103Ω

D.

4.005 × 103Ω

Solution

i= 5 × 10–3 A
G = 15 Ω
Let series resistance be R.
V = ig(R + G)
10 = 5 × 10–3 (R + 15)
R = 2000 – 15 = 1985 = 1.985 × 10Ω
