When a current of $5 \ mA$ is passed through a galvanometer having a coil of resistance $15 \ \Omega$,it shows full scale deflection. The value of the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer to convert it into a voltmeter of range $0 - 10 \ V$ is

  • A
    $1.985 \times 10^3 \ \Omega$
  • B
    $2.045 \times 10^3 \ \Omega$
  • C
    $2.535 \times 10^3 \ \Omega$
  • D
    $4.005 \times 10^3 \ \Omega$

$A$ galvanometer of $50 \, \Omega$ 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 $25 \, V$, it should be connected with a resistance of

In an experiment to find the resistance of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method, a $5 V$ battery and a high resistance of $4.9 k\Omega$ are connected in the circuit. In the absence of any shunt resistance, the galvanometer reads $20$ divisions when current flows in the circuit. To reduce the deflection by half, the value of the shunt resistance used is $98 \Omega$. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is given as $..... \mu A / \text{division}$.
