The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given options for using a microammeter as a voltmeter and as an ammeter. The microammeter has a resistance of \( G = 100 \, \Omega \) and a full-scale range of \( I_G = 50 \, \mu A \). ### Step 1: Using the Microammeter as a Voltmeter When using the microammeter as a voltmeter, we need to connect a large resistance in series with it. The formula to calculate the required series resistance \( R_V \) for a given voltage \( V \) is: \[ R_V = \frac{V}{I_G} - G \] #### Option A: 50 V range with \( 10 k\Omega \) resistance in series 1. **Calculate \( R_V \) for \( V = 50 \, V \)**: \[ R_V = \frac{50}{50 \times 10^{-6}} - 100 \] \[ R_V = \frac{50}{0.00005} - 100 = 1000000 - 100 = 999900 \, \Omega \approx 10^6 \, \Omega \] This does not match \( 10 k\Omega \). #### Option B: 10 V range with \( 200 k\Omega \) resistance in series 2. **Calculate \( R_V \) for \( V = 10 \, V \)**: \[ R_V = \frac{10}{50 \times 10^{-6}} - 100 \] \[ R_V = \frac{10}{0.00005} - 100 = 200000 - 100 = 199900 \, \Omega \approx 200 k\Omega \] This matches \( 200 k\Omega \). ### Step 2: Using the Microammeter as an Ammeter When using the microammeter as an ammeter, we need to connect a shunt resistance \( S \) in parallel. The formula for calculating the shunt resistance \( S \) is: \[ S = \frac{I_G \cdot G}{I - I_G} \] #### Option C: 5 mA range with \( 1 \Omega \) resistance in parallel 3. **Calculate \( S \) for \( I = 5 \, mA \)**: \[ S = \frac{50 \times 10^{-6} \cdot 100}{5 \times 10^{-3} - 50 \times 10^{-6}} \] \[ S = \frac{0.005}{0.00495} \approx 1.01 \, \Omega \approx 1 \, \Omega \] This matches \( 1 \Omega \). #### Option D: 10 mA range with \( 1 \Omega \) resistance in parallel 4. **Calculate \( S \) for \( I = 10 \, mA \)**: \[ S = \frac{50 \times 10^{-6} \cdot 100}{10 \times 10^{-3} - 50 \times 10^{-6}} \] \[ S = \frac{0.005}{0.00995} \approx 0.5 \, \Omega \] This does not match \( 1 \Omega \). ### Conclusion - **Correct options**: - Option B: \( 10 V \) range with \( 200 k\Omega \) resistance in series. - Option C: \( 5 mA \) range with \( 1 \Omega \) resistance in parallel.
