Scale of galvanometer divided into 100 equal divisions has a current
sensitivity 10 div./mA and voltage sensitivity 4 div./mV. The resistance of
galvanometer is

  1. A \(5 \Omega\)
  2. B \(2.50\)
  3. C \(10 \Omega\)
  4. D \(7.5 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2.50\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta}{\mathrm{dI}}=10 \mathrm{div} / \mathrm{m} \mathrm{A}, \frac{\mathrm{d} \theta}{\mathrm{dV}}=4 \operatorname{div} / \mathrm{mV}\)
\(\frac{\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta}{\mathrm{dI}}}{\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta}{\mathrm{dV}}}=\frac{\mathrm{dV}}{\mathrm{dI}}=\frac{10 \mathrm{mV}}{4 \mathrm{~mA}}=2.5 \Omega\)
