CBSEENPH12039984

A galvanometer has a coil of resistance 100 Ω and gives a full-scale deflection for 30 mA current. If it is to work as a voltmeter of 30 V range, the resistance required to be added will be

  • 900 Ω

  • 1800

  • 500 Ω

  • 1000 Ω

Solution

A.

900 Ω

Required resistance
straight R space equals space straight V over straight i subscript straight g minus space straight G

equals space fraction numerator 30 over denominator 30 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 3 end exponent end fraction space minus space 100 space equals space 900 space straight capital omega
