The voltmeter has range 10 V and its internal resistance is \(50 \Omega\). To increase the range of voltmeter to 15 V , the resistance which is to be connected is

  1. A \(125 \Omega\) resistance in parallel
  2. B \(125 \Omega\) resistance in series
  3. C \(25 \Omega\) resistance in parallel
  4. D \(25 \Omega\) resistance in series
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(25 \Omega\) resistance in series

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R_s = R_v \left(\frac{V'}{V} - 1\right)\) \(R_s = 50 \, \Omega \left(\frac{15 \text{ V}}{10 \text{ V}} - 1\right)\)
