Question 398: Current Electricity

Question

When a current of 5 mA is passed through a galvanometer having a coil of resistance 15$\Omega $, it shows full
scale deflection. The value of the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer to convert it into a
voltmeter of range 0 – 10V is:

Accepted Answer

Given : Current through the galvanometer,
i
g
= 5 ÃÂ 10
Ã¢ÂÂ3
A
Galvanometer resistance, G = 15 $\Omega $
Let resistance R to be put in series with the galvanometer to
convert it into a voltmeter.
V = i
g
(R + G)
10 = 5 ÃÂ 10
Ã¢ÂÂ3
(R + 15)
$ 	herefore $ R = 2000 Ã¢ÂÂ 15 = 1985
= 1.985 ÃÂ 10
