How can we make a galvanometer with `G=20 Omega` and `i_g=1.0 mA` into a voltmeter with a maximum range of `10 V`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A resistance of `9980Omega` is to be connected in series with the galvanometer.
`v=i_(g)Rs+i_(g)R_(g)`
`10=1xx10^(-3)xxR_(s)+1xx10^(-3)xx20`
`Rs=(10-0.02)/(1xx10^(-3))=9.98/10^(-3)=9980Omega`
