A voltmeter has a resistance of G ohms and range V volts. The value of resistance used in series to convert it into a voltmeter of range nV volts is :

(1) nG

(2) $(n-1)G$

(3) $\frac{G}{n}$ 

(4) $\frac{G}{(n-1)}$

Which of the following statement is wrong:

(1) Voltmeter should have high resistance

(2) Ammeter should have low resistance

(3) Ammeter is placed in parallel across the conductor in a circuit

(4) Voltmeter is placed in parallel across the conductor in a circuit

A moving coil galvanometer has a resistance of 50 Ωand gives full scale deflection for 10 mA. How could it be converted into an ammeter with a full scale deflection for 1A :

(1) 50/99 Ω in series

(2) 50/99 Ω in parallel

(3) 0.01 Ω in series

(4) 0.01 Ω in parallel

The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is 

(1) Zero

(2) Very low

(3) Very large

(4) Infinite

The net resistance of a voltmeter should be large to ensure that :

A galvanometer having a resistance of 8 ohms is shunted by a wire of resistance 2 ohms. If the total current is 1 amp, the part of it passing through the shunt will be :

(1) 0.25 amp

(2) 0.8 amp

(3) 0.2 amp

(4) 0.5 amp

A voltmeter of resistance 1000 Ω gives full-scale deflection when a current of 100 mA flow through it. The shunt resistance required across it to enable it to be used as an ammeter reading 1 A at full-scale deflection is :

(1) 10000 Ω

(2) 9000 Ω

(3) 222 Ω

(4) 111 Ω

If an ammeter A reads 2 A and the voltmeter V reads 20 V, what is the value of resistance R? (Assuming finite resistances of ammeter and voltmeter)
     

A galvanometer has a resistance of 25 ohm and a maximum of 0.01 A current can be passed through it. In order to change it into an ammeter of range 10 A, the shunt resistance required is 

(1) 5/999 ohm

(2) 10/999 ohm

(3) 20/999 ohm

(4) 25/999 ohm

A galvanometer has 30 divisions and a sensitivity 16$\mu A/\text{div.}$ It can be converted into a voltmeter to read 3 V by connecting (approximately):

(1) Resistance nearly 6 k Ω in series

(2) 6 k Ω in parallel

(3) 500 Ω in series

(4) It cannot be converted
