A voltmeter has resistance of 2000 ohms ...

A voltmeter has resistance of 2000 ohms and it can measure upto `2 V`. If we want ot increase its range to `10 V` then the, required resistance in series will be

A

`2000 Omega`

B

`4000 Omega`

C

`6000 Omega`

D

`8000 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) Here, `n = (10)/(2) = 5`
`:. R = (n - 1) G = (5 - 1) 2000 = 8000 Omega`
