When a resistance of 200 , is connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance G, its range is V. To triple its range, a resistance of 2000 , is connected in series. The value of G is
Options
- A400 ,
- B500 ,
- C700 ,
- D900 ,
Correct answer
C. 700 ,
Step-by-step solution
Let I_g be the current for full scale deflection of the galvanometer. When a resistance of 200 , is connected in series, the range is V . V = I_g(G + 200) When a resistance of 2000 , is connected in series, the range becomes 3V . 3V = I_g(G + 2000) Dividing the second equation by the first equation: 3V V = I_g(G + 2000) I_g(G + 200) 3 = G + 2000 G + 200 3G + 600 = G + 2000 2G = 1400 G = 700 , Answer: 700 ,
