    A microammeter has a resistance of \[100\,\Omega \] and full scale range of \[50\,\mu A\]. It can be used as a voltmeter or as a higher range ammeter provided a resistance is added to it. Pick the correct range and resistance combination [SCRA 1996; AMU (Med.) 2001; Roorkee 2000]

    A)            50 V range with \[10\,k\Omega \] resistance in series

    B)            10 V range with \[200\,k\Omega \] resistance in series

    C)            10 mA range with \[1\,\Omega \] resistance in parallel

    D)            10 mA range with \[0.1\,\Omega \] resistance in parallel

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter, a shunt \[S=\frac{{{I}_{g}}}{I-{{I}_{g}}}G\] is connected in parallel with it. To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter, a resistance \[R=\frac{V}{{{I}_{g}}}-G\] is connected in series with it.
