Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 267

Question: A galvanometer has 30 divisions and a sensitivity 16 $ \mu A/\text{div}\text{.} $ It can be converted into a voltmeter to read 3 V by connecting

[Kerala PMT 2005]

Options:

A) Resistance nearly 6 $ k,\Omega $ in series

B) $ 6,k,\Omega $ in parallel

C) $ 500,\Omega $ in series

D) It cannot be converted

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ (R+G),i _{g}=V $

Therefore $ (R+G)=\frac{V}{i _{g}} $

$ =\frac{3}{30\times 16\times {{10}^{-6}}}=6.25k\Omega $
$ \

Therefore $ Value of $ R $ is nearly equal to $ 6k\Omega $ This is connected in series in a voltmeter.
