$A$ microammeter has a resistance of $100\,\Omega$ and a full-scale range of $50\,\mu A$. It can be used as a voltmeter or a higher-range ammeter provided a resistance is added to it. Pick the correct range and resistance combination$(s)$.

  • A
    $50\, V$ range with $10\, k\Omega$ resistance in series.
  • B
    $10\, V$ range with $200\, k\Omega$ resistance in series.
  • C
    $5\, mA$ range with $1\, \Omega$ resistance in parallel.
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$
