The maximum current that can be measured...

The maximum current that can be measured by a galvanometer of resistance `40 Omega` is 10 mA . It is converted into a voltmeter that can read upto 50 V . The resistance to be connected in series with the galvanometer is ... (in ohm )

A

2010

B

4050

C

5040

D

4960

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

To convert a galvanometer into voltmeter, the necessary value of resistance to be connected in series with the galvanometer is
`R=V/(I_(g))-G=50/(10xx10^(-3)) -40 =5000-40 =4960 Omega`
