Question

A galvanometer having a resistance of 20 Ω and 30 divisions on both sides has figure of merit 0.005 ampere/division. The resistance that should be connected in series such that it can be used as a voltmeter upto 15 V , is:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Current for full scale deflection = 0.005 × 30 = 0.150 A Voltage for full scale deflection = 0.150 × 20 V = 3.0 V Resistance required to be connected in series = 15 3 - 1 20 Ω = 80 Ω
