The correct Answer is:
To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter, we need to add a resistance in series with the galvanometer. The formula to find the resistance \( R \) required to convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter is given by: \[ R = \frac{V}{I_g} - G \] Where: - \( V \) is the desired voltage range of the voltmeter, - \( I_g \) is the current through the galvanometer when the full-scale deflection occurs, - \( G \) is the resistance of the galvanometer. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - The resistance of the galvanometer \( G \) is given as \( g \) ohms. - The range of the galvanometer is \( 1 \) volt. - The desired range of the voltmeter is \( 10 \) volts. 2. **Calculate the Current \( I_g \):** - The current \( I_g \) when the galvanometer shows full-scale deflection at \( 1 \) volt can be calculated using Ohm's law: \[ I_g = \frac{V_g}{G} = \frac{1}{g} \] 3. **Substitute Values into the Resistance Formula:** - Now substitute \( V = 10 \) volts and \( I_g = \frac{1}{g} \) into the resistance formula: \[ R = \frac{10}{\frac{1}{g}} - g \] 4. **Simplify the Expression:** - Simplifying the equation gives: \[ R = 10g - g = 9g \] 5. **Final Result:** - Therefore, the value of the resistance used to convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter of range \( 10 \) volts is: \[ R = 9g \text{ ohms} \] ### Final Answer: The resistance used to convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter of range 10 volts is \( 9g \) ohms. ---
