Q.

A galvanometer has a current sensitivity of 1mA per division. A variable shunt is connected across the galvanometer and the combination is put in series with a resistance of 500Ω and cell of internal resistance 1Ω. It gives a deflection of 5 division for shunt of 5 ohm and 20 division for shunt of 25 ohm. Find the emf of cell and resistance of galvanometer.

Detailed Solution

Case I: Ig=I1SG+SI1=Ig(G+S)S

As the sensitivity is 1mA per division. There will be 5mA current for a deflection of 5 divisions. 

i.e. Ig=5mA

I1=(5mA)G+55=103(G+5)......1

Again Reff=(5)GG+5+500+1=506G+5×501G+5

Question Image

I1=EReff=E(G+5)506G+5×501.....2

(1)=(2)103=E506G+5×501π

E=[506G+5×501]103.3

Similarly for the IInd case

Ig=20mA; S=25Ω

I2=20×103G+2525=45×(G+25)1034

Again Reff=G(25)G+25+501=526G+501×25G+25

I2=EReff=E(G+25)526G+501×25.....5

(4)=(5)45×103=E526G+501×25

E=[526G+501×25]45×1036

On solving (3) & (6) we get G=882Ω and E = 47.13V
