A galvanometer of resistance G has voltage range V_g . Resistance requirec to convert it to read voltage up to V is
Options
- AG V_g V -G
- B( G+V_g V ) G
- C( V-V_g V ) G
- DG [ V V_g -1 ]
Correct answer
D. G [ V V_g -1 ]
Step-by-step solution
The correct option is (D). To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter we need to connect a large resistor in series. Consider the following diagram swith usual labels. Consider the following, net potential drop across the voltmeter: I_g R+l_g G=V On re-writing, R= V I_g -G , and we know, V_g=I_g G . Therefore, R=G ( V V_g -1 )
