A galvanometer has resistance of 10 ohms and a full scale deflection is produced by 5 milli amperes. What is the value of resistance that should be connected in series with it in order to enable it to read 2V?(a) 20 Ω(b) 10 Ω(c) 40 Ω(d) 30 ΩI got this question in a job interview.I want to ask this question from Moving Coil Galvanometer topic in chapter Moving Charges and Magnetism of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (d) 30 Ω

Easy explanation: GIVEN: G = 10 Ω; V = 2 V; Ig = 0.05 A

The REQUIRED equation ➔ Ig = \(\frac {V}{(R + G)}\)

0.05 = \(\frac {2}{(R + 10)}\)

(R + 10) = \(\frac {2}{0.05} = \frac {200}{5}\) = 40

R = 40 – 10

R = 30 Ω
