JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 11th January Evening Slot - No. 13)

A galvanometer having a resistance of 20 $$\Omega $$ and 30 divisions on both sides has figure of merit 0.005 ampere/division. The resistance that should be connected in series such that it can be used as a voltmeter upto 15 volt, is:
120 $$\Omega $$
125 $$\Omega $$
80 $$\Omega $$
100 $$\Omega $$

Explanation

Rg = 20$$\Omega $$

NL = NR = N = 30

FOM = $${1 \over \phi }$$ = 0.005 A/Div.

Current sentivity = CS = $$\left( {{1 \over {0.005}}} \right)$$ = $${\phi \over {\rm I}}$$

$${\rm I}$$gmax = 0.005 $$ \times $$ 30

= 15 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$2 = 0.15

15 = 0.15 [20 + R]

100 = 20 + R

R = 80
