The correct Answer is:
To convert a moving coil galvanometer into a voltmeter, we need to add a high resistance in series with the galvanometer. The total voltage across the voltmeter will be the sum of the voltage across the galvanometer and the voltage across the added resistance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - Resistance of galvanometer, \( R_g = 20 \, \Omega \) - Full-scale deflection current, \( I_g = 0.01 \, A \) - Desired voltage range of the voltmeter, \( V = 20 \, V \) 2. **Calculate the Voltage across the Galvanometer at Full Scale**: \[ V_g = I_g \times R_g \] Substituting the values: \[ V_g = 0.01 \, A \times 20 \, \Omega = 0.2 \, V \] 3. **Determine the Total Resistance Needed for the Voltmeter**: The total voltage across the voltmeter is given by: \[ V = I_g \times (R_g + R) \] where \( R \) is the resistance to be added. Rearranging gives: \[ R + R_g = \frac{V}{I_g} \] Substituting the known values: \[ R + 20 \, \Omega = \frac{20 \, V}{0.01 \, A} = 2000 \, \Omega \] 4. **Calculate the Required Resistance \( R \)**: \[ R = 2000 \, \Omega - 20 \, \Omega = 1980 \, \Omega \] ### Final Answer: The resistance required to convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter of range 20 volts is \( R = 1980 \, \Omega \).
