Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 307

Question: A galvanometer of 50 ohm resistance has 25 divisions. A current of 4 ´ 10?4 ampere gives a deflection of one division. To convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter having a range of 25 volts, it should be connected with a resistance of

[CBSE PMT 2004]

Options:

A) 2500 W as a shunt

B) 2450 W as a shunt

C) 2550 W in series

D) 2450 W in series

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Full deflection current $ i _{g}=25\times 4\times {{10}^{-4}} $

$ =100\times {{10}^{-4}}A $ Using $ R=\frac{V}{I _{g}}-G $

$ =\frac{25}{100\times {{10}^{-4}}}-50 $

$ =2450,\Omega $ in series­­.
