A voltmeter is constructed from a 25Ω25 \Omega coil connected in series with a 575Ω575 \Omega resistor. If the coil requires 10 mA10 \text{ mA} for full scale deflection, determine the maximum potential difference that this voltmeter can measure.

Options

  1. A60 V60 \text{ V}
  2. B0.25 V0.25 \text{ V}
  3. C6 V6 \text{ V}
  4. D5.75 V5.75 \text{ V}

Correct answer

C. 6 V6 \text{ V}

Step-by-step solution

The total resistance of the voltmeter is the sum of the resistance of the coil and the series resistor.

R=Rc+RsR = R_c + R_s

Substituting the given values:

R=25Ω+575Ω=600ΩR = 25 \Omega + 575 \Omega = 600 \Omega

The maximum potential difference VV that the voltmeter can measure corresponds to the full scale deflection current IgI_g.

V=IgRV = I_g R

Given Ig=10 mA=10×10−3 AI_g = 10 \text{ mA} = 10 \times 10^{-3} \text{ A}, we get:

V=(10×10−3 A)×(600Ω)V = (10 \times 10^{-3} \text{ A}) \times (600 \Omega)

V=6 VV = 6 \text{ V}
