A moving coil of galvanometer when shunted with resistance gives a full scale deflection for a current of mA. When a resistance of is connected in series it gives a full scale deflection for V potential applied on it. The value of resistance of galvanometer coil is __________ .
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Let be the resistance of the galvanometer and be the current required for full scale deflection.
When the galvanometer is shunted with , it acts as an ammeter of range . The potential difference across the galvanometer and the shunt is equal:
When a resistance is connected in series, it acts as a voltmeter of range . The total voltage is the sum of the voltage drops:
Equating the two expressions for :
