A voltmeter with a resistance of 50 x103 ohm is used to measure voltage in a circuit. To increase its range to 3 times, the additional resistance to be put in series is

a
105ohm
b
150k ohm
c
900 k ohm
d
9x106 ohm

detailed solution

Correct option is A

R=V′ig−G=nVV/R0−R0where Ro is the resistance of voltmeter∴ R=nR0−R0=(n−1)R0=(3−1)×50×103=100×103=105Ω
