JEE Main 2024 — 1 February, Shift 1 — Question 37

A galvanometer has a resistance of 50Ω50 \Omega 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

  1. Option A:

    5975Ω5975 \Omega

  2. Option B:

    20050Ω20050 \Omega

  3. Option C:

    19950Ω19950 \Omega

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    19500Ω19500 \Omega

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}
