A galvanometer coil has a resistance of 10Ω and the meter shows full scale deflection for a current of 2 mA. What resistance needs to be connected to convert the meter into a voltmeter of range 0 to 18 V?

  1. A 8880 Ω
  2. B 8990 Ω
  3. C 9000 Ω
  4. D 9010 Ω
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 8990 Ω

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To make the galvanometer as a voltmeter, we have to connect a series shunt resistance. V=iRG+Rs ⇒18=2×10-3×10+Rs ⇒18×10002=10+Rs ⇒9000=10+Rs ⇒Rs=9000-10=8990 Ω
