Question
A multirange voltmeter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in Fig. We want to construct a voltmeter that can measure 2V, 20V and 200V using a galvanometer of resistance 10Ω and that produces maximum deflection for current of 1mA. Find R1, R2 and R3 that have to be used.

Answer

Key concept: The galvanometer can also be used as a voltmeter to measure the voltage across a given section of the circuit. For this a very high resistance wire is to be connected in series with galvanometer. The relationship is given by Ig(G + R) where Ig is the range of galvanometer, G is the resistance of galvanometer and R is the resistance of wire connected in series with galvanometer.

Applying expression in different situations

For Ig(G + R1) = 2 for 2V range

For Ig(G + R1 + R2) = 20 for 20V range

And For Ig(G + R1 + R2 + R3) = 200 for 200V range

By solving, we get

R1 = 1990Ω, R2 = 18kΩ and R3 = 180kΩ.

A rectangular conducting loop consists of two wires on two opposite sides of length l joined together by rods of length d. The wires are each of the same material but with cross-sections differing by a factor of 2. The thicker wire has a resistance R and the rods are of low resistance, which in turn are connected to a constant voltage source V0. The loop is placed in uniform a magnetic field B at 45° to its plane. Find $\tau$, the torque exerted by the magnetic field on the loop about an axis through the centres of rods.

Figure. shows a cylindrical tube of radius 5cm and length 20cm. It is closed by a tight-fitting cork. The friction coefficient between the cork and the tube is 0.20. The tube contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 300K. The tube is slowly heated and it is found that the cork pops out when the temperature reaches 600K Let dN denote the magnitude of the normal contact force exerted by a small length dl of the cork along the periphery (see the figure). Assuming that the temperature of the gas is uniform at any instant, calculate $\frac{\text{dN}}{\text{dl}}.$
