    A galvanometer of \[50\pi \] resistance has 25 divisions. A current of \[4\times {{10}^{-4}}A\] gives a deflection of one division. To convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter having a range of 25 volt, it should be connected with a resistance of

    A)  245\[\pi \] as shunt      

    B)  2450\[\pi \] as series

    C)  2500\[\pi \] as shunt.     

    D)  2550\[\pi \] in series

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given \[{{R}_{q}}=50\,\,\Omega \], \[{{l}_{g}}=25\times 4\times {{10}^{-4}}A={{10}^{-2}}A\] Range of V = 25 volts Resistance, \[R=\frac{V}{{{l}_{g}}}-{{R}_{q}}=\left( \frac{25}{{{10}^{-2}}}-50 \right)\,\,\Omega \] \[=2450\,\,\Omega \] Thus, a resistance of \[2450\,\,\Omega \] is connected is series to convert it into a voltmeter.
