The seave of a galvanometer of resistance 100 Ω contains 25 divisions. It gives a deflection of 1 division on passing a current of 4 x 10-4 A. The resistance in ohm to be added to it, so that it may become a voltmeter of range 2 .5 V is

a
100
b
150
c
250
d
300

detailed solution

Correct option is B

For full scale deflection ,  ig = n k∴ ig=25×4×10−4=10−2ANow R=Vig−G=2⋅510−2−100=250−100=150Ω
