The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the galvanometer, we need to determine the appropriate resistances to be used in parallel and series with the galvanometer for measuring a specific current and voltage. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information:** - Resistance of the galvanometer (G) = 1 Ω - Maximum deflection current (I_g) = 0.1 A 2. **Determine the Current Measurement Setup:** - To measure a larger current (let's say 1 A), we need to use a shunt resistor (R_s) in parallel with the galvanometer. - The total current (I) through the circuit will be the sum of the current through the galvanometer (I_g) and the current through the shunt resistor (I_s): \[ I = I_g + I_s \] - For maximum deflection, we want to find R_s such that when I = 1 A, I_g = 0.1 A. 3. **Calculate the Current through the Shunt Resistor:** - Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ I_s = I - I_g = 1 A - 0.1 A = 0.9 A \] 4. **Using the Formula for Parallel Resistors:** - The voltage across the galvanometer (V_g) can be expressed as: \[ V_g = I_g \times G = 0.1 A \times 1 Ω = 0.1 V \] - The voltage across the shunt resistor (R_s) must be the same as the voltage across the galvanometer: \[ V_s = I_s \times R_s \] - Setting the voltages equal gives: \[ 0.1 V = 0.9 A \times R_s \] - Solving for R_s: \[ R_s = \frac{0.1 V}{0.9 A} = \frac{1}{9} Ω \approx 0.111 Ω \] 5. **Determine the Series Resistance for Voltage Measurement:** - To measure a potential difference of 10 V, we need to add a resistor (R_series) in series with the galvanometer. - The total voltage (V_total) across the series circuit will be: \[ V_total = I_g \times (G + R_{series}) = 10 V \] - Rearranging gives: \[ 10 V = 0.1 A \times (1 Ω + R_{series}) \] - Solving for R_series: \[ R_{series} = \frac{10 V}{0.1 A} - 1 Ω = 100 Ω - 1 Ω = 99 Ω \] ### Final Answers: - The shunt resistor required to measure 1 A is \( \frac{1}{9} \, \Omega \). - The series resistor required to measure 10 V is \( 99 \, \Omega \).
