The correct Answer is:
To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter, we need to connect a resistor in series with the galvanometer. Here’s the step-by-step solution to find the value of the resistor needed for a voltmeter with a range of 5 volts. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Values**: - Resistance of the galvanometer, \( R_g = 1 \, \Omega \) - Full-scale deflection current of the galvanometer, \( I_g = 5 \, \text{mA} = 5 \times 10^{-3} \, A \) - Desired voltage range of the voltmeter, \( V = 5 \, V \) 2. **Use the Formula for Voltage**: The voltage across the galvanometer when it is connected in series with a resistor \( R \) can be expressed as: \[ V = I_g \times (R_g + R) \] where \( V \) is the total voltage across the circuit. 3. **Substituting Known Values**: Substitute the known values into the formula: \[ 5 = 5 \times 10^{-3} \times (1 + R) \] 4. **Rearranging the Equation**: To isolate \( R \), first divide both sides by \( 5 \times 10^{-3} \): \[ \frac{5}{5 \times 10^{-3}} = 1 + R \] Simplifying the left side: \[ 1000 = 1 + R \] 5. **Solving for R**: Now, subtract 1 from both sides: \[ R = 1000 - 1 = 999 \, \Omega \] ### Final Result: The value of the resistor \( R \) needed to convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter with a range of 5 volts is \( R = 999 \, \Omega \).
