$A$ galvanometer has $30$ divisions and a sensitivity of $16\,\mu A/\text{div}$. It can be converted into a voltmeter to read $3\,V$ by connecting:

  • A
    Resistance nearly $6\,k\Omega$ in series
  • B
    $6\,k\Omega$ in parallel
  • C
    $500\,\Omega$ in series
  • D
    It cannot be converted

“By increasing current sensitivity,voltage sensitivity is also increased”. This statement is true or false.

$A$ galvanometer,having a resistance of $50 \Omega$,gives a full scale deflection for a current of $0.05 \text{ A}$. The length in metre of a resistance wire of area of cross-section $2.97 \times 10^{-2} \text{ cm}^2$ that can be used to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter which can read a maximum of $5 \text{ A}$ current is: (Specific resistance of the wire $= 5 \times 10^{-7} \Omega\text{-m}$)

$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter reading up to $0.03\,A$ by connecting a shunt of resistance $4r$ across it,and into an ammeter reading up to $0.06\,A$ when a shunt of resistance $r$ is connected across it. What is the maximum current which can be sent through this galvanometer if no shunt is used?

The sensitivity of a galvanometer is $60 \text{ division/A}$. When a shunt is used,its sensitivity becomes $10 \text{ division/A}$. If the galvanometer is of resistance $20 \ \Omega$,the value of shunt used is (in $Omega$)

$A$ galvanometer $G$ deflects full scale when a potential difference of $0.50 \ V$ is applied. The internal resistance of the galvanometer $r_g$ is $25 \ \Omega$. An ammeter is constructed by incorporating the galvanometer and an additional shunt resistance $R_S$. The ammeter deflects full scale when a measurement of $2.0 \ A$ is made. The resistance $R_S$ is closest to : ................. $\Omega$
