Class 12PhysicsMoving Charges and MagnetismThe Moving Coil Galvanometer (Sensitivity) and Ammeter and Voltmeter Conversion
MediumWhen a current of $5 \ mA$ is passed through a galvanometer having a coil of resistance $15 \ \Omega$,it shows full scale deflection. The value of the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer to convert it into a voltmeter of range $0 - 10 \ V$ is
- A$1.985 \times 10^3 \ \Omega$
- B$2.045 \times 10^3 \ \Omega$
- C$2.535 \times 10^3 \ \Omega$
- D$4.005 \times 10^3 \ \Omega$

View Solution$A$ galvanometer,whose resistance is $50\, \Omega$,has $25$ divisions. When a current of $4 \times 10^{-4}\, A$ passes through it,its needle deflects by one division. To use this galvanometer as a voltmeter of range $2.5\, V$,it should be connected to a resistance of ....... $\Omega$.
The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer of resistance $45 \Omega$ falls from $30$ divisions to $3$ divisions. The length of the shunt wire required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter is [specific resistance of the material of the shunt wire $= 5 \times 10^{-7} \Omega m$ and area of cross-section of the wire $= 4 \times 10^{-7} m^2$]. (in $m$)
An ammeter has a range of $1 \, A$ without a shunt. The range can be varied by using different shunt resistances. The graph between shunt resistance $(S)$ and range $(I)$ will have the nature of which curve shown in the figure?
