Questions  

A candidate connects a moving coil voltmeter V, a moving coil ammeter A and a resistance R as shown in figure. If the voltmeter reads 20 Y and the ammeter reads 4 A, R is

a
equal to 5  Ω
b
greater than 5  Ω
c
less than 5  Ω
d
greater or less than 5  Ω depending upon its material

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let a current of x amperes passes through the voltmeter, then 4−x amperes passes through the resistance R. Therefore, voltmeter reading 20 = 4−x R∴     R=204−x ,  i.e.,  R  >  5  Ω
