Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given a galvanometer of resistance (of resistance RG) get converted into a voltmeter of range 0-30V , when a resistance of RS = 4990 Ω is connected in series of it and give full scale of deflection with current IG = 0·006 A.
Than from equation IG=VRS+RG
0.006=304990+G RG = 10 Ω
