A galvanometer of 50 ohm resistance has ...

A galvanometer of 50 ohm resistance has 25 divisions. A current of `4xx10^(-4)` ampere gives a deflection of one division. To convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter having a range of 25 volts, it should be connected with a resistance of :

A

`2500 Omega` as a shunt

B

`2450 Omega` as a shunt

C

`2550 Omega` in series

D

`2450 Omega` in series

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Full deflection current `i_(g) = 25 xx 4 xx 10^(-4) = 100 xx 10^(-4)A`
Using `R= (V)/(I_(g)) -G=(25)/(100 xx 10^(-4)) -50 = 2450 Omega` in series.
