A galvanometer with a coil of resistance...

A galvanometer with a coil of resistance `12Omega` shows a full scale deflection for a current of `2*5mA`. How will you convert it into a voltmeter of range `7*5V`? Also, find the total resistance of voltmeter formed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A galvometer can be converted into a voltmeter of given range by connecting a suitable resistance R in series with galvanometer, which is given by, `R=V/I_g-G=(7*5)/(2*5xx10^-3)-12=2988Omega`
Total resistance of voltmeter formed `=R+G=2988+12=3000Omega`
