A galvanometer of internal resistance 50\(\Omega\) and full scale deflection of 20 mA is converted into a voltmeter by connecting a resistor of resistance 1950\(\Omega\) in series to it. Calculate the maximum voltage that can be read by the voltmeter
20V
30V
38V
40V

Explanation

V = IR1 + IR2

= 0.02 x 50 + 0.02 x 1950 = 40V
