Question
When a current of 5 mA is passed through a galvanometer having a coil of resistance 15Ω, it shows full-scale deflection. The value of the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer to convert it into to voltmeter of range 0 – 10 V is
-
2.535 × 103 Ω
-
4.005 × 103 Ω
-
1.985 × 103 Ω
-
2.045 × 103 Ω
Solution
C.
1.985 × 103 Ω
10 = (5 × 10–3) (15 + R)
r = 1985 Ω
