With a resistance '$X$' connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance $100 \Omega$, it acts as a voltmeter of range $0 - 15 \text{ V}$. To double the range, a resistance of $1500 \Omega$ is to be connected in series with '$X$'. The value of '$X$' in $\Omega$ is

  • A
    $1000$
  • B
    $1200$
  • C
    $1400$
  • D
    $1600$

In an ammeter, $0.2\%$ of the main current passes through the galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$, the resistance of the ammeter will be

In a circuit for finding the resistance of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a $6\,V$ battery and a high resistance of $11\,k\Omega$ are used. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is $60\,\mu A/\text{division}$. In the absence of shunt resistance,the galvanometer produces a deflection of $\theta = 9$ divisions when current flows in the circuit. The value of the shunt resistance that can cause the deflection of $\theta/2$ is closest to .................. $\Omega$.

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $20 \Omega$ gives a deflection of $5$ divisions when $1 \text{ mA}$ current flows through it. The galvanometer scale has $50$ divisions. To convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter of range $25 \text{ V}$,we should connect a resistance of

If a galvanometer is shunted by $(\frac{1}{n-1})^{th}$ of the value of its resistance, then the fraction of the total current passing through the galvanometer is

When a galvanometer is shunted with a $4\,\Omega$ resistance,the deflection is reduced to one-fifth. If the galvanometer is further shunted with a $2\,\Omega$ wire,the further reduction in the deflection will be (the main current remains same).
