JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

A galvanometer of resistance \(G\) is converted into a voltmeter of range \(0-1\, V\) by connecting a resistance \(R _{1}\) in series with it. The additional resistance that should be connected in series with \(R _{1}\) to increase the range of the voltmeter to \(0-2\, V\) will be

  1. A \(R_{1}\)
  2. B \(R_{1}+G\)
  3. C \(R_{1}-G\)
  4. D \(G\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(R_{1}+G\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Rightarrow 1=i_{g}\left(G+R_{1}\right) \quad \ldots(1)\) \(\Rightarrow 2= i _{ g }\left( R _{1}+ R _{2}+ G \right)\)\(...(2)\) \((1)/(2)\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{G+R_{1}}{G+R_{1}+R_{2}}\) \(G + R _{1}+ R _{2}=2 G +2 h _{1}\) \(\left( R _{2}= G + R _{1}\right)\)
