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 Rs = (n - 1)G.

Answer

  1. (d) $9975\Omega$

Explanation:

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) $15000\Omega$

Explanation:

An ideal voltmeter should have a very high resistance.

  1. (c) $990\Omega$

Explanation:

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 MCG.

Explanation:

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.

Explanation:

The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is infinity.

A capacitor is a device to store energy. The process of charging up a capacitor involves the transferring of electric charges from its one place to another. This work done in charging the capacitor is stored as its electrical potential energy.

If q is the charge and V is the potential difference across a capacitor at any instant during its charging, then small work done in storing an additional small charge dq against the repulsion of charge q already stored on it is $\text{dW}=\text{V.dq}=(\frac{\text{q}}{\text{C}})\text{dq}.$
