A galvanometer having a coil resistance 100   Ω gives a full scale deflection when a current of 1 m A is passed through it. What is the value of the resistance which can convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter given full scale deflection for a potential difference of 10 V ?
Options
- A10 k Ω
- B8.9 k Ω
- C7.9 k Ω
- D9.9 k Ω
Correct answer
D. 9.9 k Ω
Step-by-step solution
V g = i g R g = 0.1 V V = 10 V R = R g V V g - 1 = 100 × 99 = 9.9 K Ω
