Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

A galvanometer has resistance 'GG' and range 'VgV_g'. How much resistance is required to read voltage upto 'VV' volt?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Full-scale current Ig=VgGI_g = \frac{V_g}{G}.
  2. Series resistance: R=VIg−G=VGVg−GR = \frac{V}{I_g} - G = \frac{VG}{V_g} - G
  3. R=G(VVg−1)R = G\left(\frac{V}{V_g} - 1\right), so the answer is (a).
