Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

For full scale deflection of total 50 divisions, 50 mV voltage is required in galvanometer. The resistance of galvanometer if its current sensitivity is 2 div/mA will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Full scale current =50 div2 div/mA=25 mA= \frac{50\text{ div}}{2\text{ div/mA}} = 25\text{ mA}
  2. G=VI=50 mV25 mA=2 ΩG = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{50\text{ mV}}{25\text{ mA}} = 2\ \Omega
  3. So the answer is (d) 2 Ω2\ \Omega.
