Questions  

The resistance of a moving coil galvanometer is 10 Ω and gives a full scale deflection for a current 5 mA  The series resistance required to convert it into a voltmeter to read maximum 100 volt is 

a
19,990 Ω
b
19980 Ω
c
20010 Ω
d
20000 Ω

detailed solution

Correct option is A

See fig. we know that ig=V(R+G)5×10−3=100R+10Solving, we get R = 19990 Ω
