The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of converting a galvanometer into a voltmeter with a specified range, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values**: - Resistance of the galvanometer, \( R_g = 25 \, \Omega \) - Full deflection current of the galvanometer, \( I_g = 10 \, \text{mA} = 10 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A} \) - Desired voltage range, \( V = 100 \, \text{V} \) 2. **Understand the Concept**: - To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter, we need to add a series resistance \( R \) to limit the current through the galvanometer to its full-scale deflection current \( I_g \) when the voltmeter is connected across a voltage \( V \). 3. **Use the Formula**: - The total voltage across the galvanometer and the series resistance can be expressed as: \[ V = I_g (R + R_g) \] - Rearranging this gives us: \[ R = \frac{V}{I_g} - R_g \] 4. **Substitute the Values**: - Substitute \( V = 100 \, \text{V} \) and \( I_g = 10 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A} \) into the formula: \[ R = \frac{100}{10 \times 10^{-3}} - 25 \] 5. **Calculate the Resistance**: - First, calculate \( \frac{100}{10 \times 10^{-3}} \): \[ \frac{100}{10 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{100}{0.01} = 10000 \, \Omega \] - Now, subtract \( R_g \): \[ R = 10000 - 25 = 9975 \, \Omega \] 6. **Conclusion**: - The resistance required to convert the galvanometer into a 100 V range voltmeter is \( R = 9975 \, \Omega \). ### Final Answer: The required resistance is \( 9975 \, \Omega \). ---
