Question 335: Current Electricity

Question

A galvanometer having a coil resistance
100 $\Omega $ gives a full scale deflection when a
current of 1 mA is passed through it. What is
the value of the resistance which can convert
this galvanometer into a voltmeter giving full
scale deflection for a potential difference of
10 V?

Accepted Answer

i
g
= 1 mA , R
g
= 100 $\Omega $
V = i
g
(R + R
g
)
$ \Rightarrow $10 = 1 ÃÂ 10
Ã¢ÂÂ3
(R + 100)
$ \Rightarrow $R = 9.9 k$\Omega $

Answer

8.9 k$\Omega $

Answer

10 k$\Omega $

Answer

9.9 k$\Omega $

Answer

7.9 k$\Omega $
