JEE Advanced · Physics · 19. Current Electricity

Consider two identical galvanometers and two identical resistors with resistance R. If the internal resistance of the galvanometers Rc<R2, which of the following statement(s) about any one of the galvanometers
is(are) true ?

  1. A The maximum voltage range is obtained when all the components are connected in series
  2. B The maximum voltage range is obtained when the two resistors and one galvanometer are connected in series, and the second galvanometer is connected in parallel to the first galvanometer
  3. C The maximum current range is obtained when all the components are connected in parallel
  4. D The maximum current range is obtained when the two galvanometers are connected in series and the combination is connected in parallel with both the resistors.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The maximum current range is obtained when all the components are connected in parallel

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


i=E2R+2Rc Vg1=iRc=ERc2R+Rc=ERc2R+2Rc

i2=E2R+Rc2 Vg2=i22×Rc
=12E2R+Rc2×Rc
Vg2=ERc4R+Rc ....(2)
Since Rc<R2 2Rc<R
2R+2Rc<3R
Vg1>Vg2

iA=ERc

Here i=E(2R+2Rc)2R.2Rc=E(R+Rc)2RRc
iB=2R2R+2Rc×E(R+Rc)2RRc=E2Rc
iA>iB
