Question
A galvanometer can be converted into voltmeter of given range by connecting a suitable resistance $R,$ in series with the galvanometer, whose value is given by, $\text{R}_\text{s}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{I}_\text{g}}-\text{G}$
where vis the voltage to be measured, $lg$ is the current for full scale deflection of galvanometer and $G$ is the resistance of galvanometer.

Series resistor$(R,)$ increases range of voltmeter and the effective resistance of galvanometer. It also protects the galvanometer from damage due to large current. Voltmeter is a high resistance instrument and it is always connected in parallel with the circuit element across which potential difference is to be measured. An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance. In order to increase the range of voltmeter $n$ times the value of resistance to be connected in series with galvanometer is $R_s = (n - 1)G.$

Answer

  1. $(d) 9975\Omega$
A galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter of given range by connecting a suitable high resistance $R$ in series of galvanometer, which is given by,
$\text{R}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{I}_\text{g}}-\text{G}=\frac{100}{10\times10^{-3}}-25=10000-25=9975\Omega$
  1. $(c) 15000\Omega$
An ideal voltmeter should have a very high resistance.
  1. $(c) 990\Omega$
Resistance of voltmeter $=\frac{25}{25\times10^{-3}}=1000\Omega$
$\therefore\text{X}=1000-10=990\Omega$
  1. $(d)$ A high resistance $R$ is connected in series with $\ce{MCG}.$
To convert a moving coil galvanometer into a voltmeter, it is connected with a high resistance in series. The voltmeter is connected in parallel to measure the potential difference. As the resistance is high, the voltmeter itself does not consume current.
  1. $(d)$ Infinity.
The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is infinity.

The density of nuclear matter is the ratio of the mass of a nucleus to its volume. As the volume of a nucleus is directly proportional to its mass number $A,$ so the density of nuclear matter is independent of the size of the nucleus. Thus, the nuclear matter behaves like a liquid of constant density. Different nuclei are like drops of this liquid, of different sizes but of same density. Let $A$ be the mass number and $R$ be the radius of a nucleus. If $m$ is the average mass of a nucleon, then. Mass of nucleus $= mA$
Volume of nucleus $=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi\big(\text{R}_0\text{A}\frac{1}{3}\big)=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}^3_0\text{A}$
$\therefore$ Nuclear density $,\rho\text{nu}=\frac{\text{Mass of nucleus}}{\text{Volume of nucleus}}$ or $\ \rho\text{nu}$
$=\frac{\text{MA}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}_0^3\text{A}}=\frac{3\text{m}}{4\pi\text{R}_0^3}$
Clearly, nuclear density is independent of mass number $A$ or the size of the nucleus. The nuclear mass density is of the order $10^{17}kg m^{-3}$ This density is very large as compared to the density of ordinary matter, say water, for which $\rho = 1.0 \times 10^3\ kg m^{-3}$

Various methods can be used to measure the mass of an atom. One possibility is through the use of a mass spectrometer. The basic feature of a Banbridge mass spectrometer is illustrated in figure. A particle carrying a charge $+q$ is first sent through a velocity selector and comes out with velocity $\text{v}=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{B}}.$
The applied electric and magnetic fields satisfy the relation $E = vB$ so that the trajectory of the particle is a straight line. Upon entering a region where a second magnetic field $\vec{\text{B}}_0$ pointing into the page has been applied, the particle will move in a circular path with radius rand eventually strike the photographic plate.
