  • A
    $10\, \Omega$ in series
  • B
    $10\, \Omega$ in parallel
  • C
    $810\, \Omega$ in series
  • D
    $810\, \Omega$ in parallel

The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer falls from $50$ divisions to $10$ divisions,when a shunt of $12 \Omega$ is connected with it. The resistance of the galvanometer coil is . . . . . . . (in $\Omega$)

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance of $50 \Omega$ and the meter shows full scale deflection for a current of $5 \text{ mA}$. This galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter of range $0-20 \text{ V}$ by connecting:

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ For measuring the potential difference across a resistance of $600\,\Omega$,the voltmeter with resistance $1000\,\Omega$ will be preferred over a voltmeter with resistance $4000\,\Omega$.
Reason $R:$ $A$ voltmeter with higher resistance will draw smaller current than a voltmeter with lower resistance.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
