$A$ galvanometer has a resistance of $100 \, \Omega$ and a full-scale range of $50 \, \mu A$. It can be used as a voltmeter or as a high-range ammeter provided a resistance is added to it. Pick the correct range and resistance combination.

  • A
    $50 \, V$ range with $10 \, k\Omega$ resistance in series
  • B
    $10 \, V$ range with $200 \, k\Omega$ resistance in series
  • C
    $5 \, mA$ range with $10 \, \Omega$ resistance in parallel
  • D
    $5 \, mA$ range with $0.1 \, \Omega$ resistance in parallel

In an experiment to determine the figure of merit of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a student constructed the following circuit. He unplugged a resistance of $5200 \ \Omega$ in $R$. When $K_1$ is closed and $K_2$ is open,the deflection observed in the galvanometer is $26 \ \text{div}$. When $K_2$ is also closed and a resistance of $90 \ \Omega$ is removed in $S$,the deflection becomes $13 \ \text{div}$. The resistance of the galvanometer is nearly: (in $Omega$)
