JEE Main 2024 — 1 February, Shift 1 — Question 37
A galvanometer has a resistance of and it allows maximum current of 5 mA . It can be converted into voltmeter to measure upto 100 V by connecting in series a resistor of resistance
- Option A:
- Option B:
- Option C:Correct
- Option D:
Answer: C
Step-by-step solution
\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{R = }&{\frac{V}{{{I_g}}} - {R_g} = \frac{{100}}{{5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}} - 50}\\{}&{\; = 20000 - 50}\\{}&{\; = 19950{\rm{\Omega }}}\end{array}
