Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 198

Question: An ammeter of 5 ohm resistance can read 5 mA. If it is to be used to read 100 volts, how much resistance is to be connected in series

[MP PET 1991; MP PMT 1996; MP PMT 2000]

Options:

A) $ 19.9995,\Omega $

B) $ 199.995\Omega $

C) $ 1999.95,\Omega $

D) $ 19995,\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

By using $ R=\frac{V}{I _{g}}-G $

Therefore $ R=\frac{100}{5\times {{10}^{-3}}}-5=19,995\Omega $
