Voltmeters $V$ and $V$ are connected in series across a D.C. line. $V$ reads 80 volts and has a per volt resistance of $200$ ohms. $V$ has a total resistance of $32$ kilo ohms. The line voltage is
- A
$120$ volts
- B
$160$ volts
- C
$220$ volts
- ✓
$240$ volts
AnswerCorrect option: D. $240$ volts

$R_1=80 \times 200=16000 \Omega=16 k \Omega$
Current flowing through $V_1=$ Current flowing through $V_2=$
$\frac{80}{16 \times 10^3}=5 \times 10^{-3} A$
So, potential differences across $V_2$ is
$V_2=5 \times 10^{-3} \times 32 \times 10^3=160 \text { volt }$
Hence, line voltage $V=V_1+V_2=80+160=240 V$. View full question & answer→MCQ 81 Mark

- C
$1000 \Omega$
- ✓
$10 \Omega$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $10 \Omega$
(d) $i_g=\frac{i}{10} \Rightarrow$ Required shunt $S=\frac{G}{(n-1)}=\frac{90}{(10-1)}=10 \Omega$

Resistance of $100 \mathrm{~cm}$ long potentiometer wire is $10 \Omega$, it is connected to a battery $(2 \mathrm{volt})$ and a resistance $R$ in series. A source of $10 \mathrm{mV}$ gives null point at $40 \mathrm{~cm}$ length, then external resistance $R$ is
- A
$490 \Omega$
- ✓
$790 \Omega$
- C
$590 \Omega$
- D
$990 \Omega$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $790 \Omega$
$E=\frac{e}{\left(R+R_h+r\right)} \cdot \frac{R}{L} \times l $
$ \Rightarrow 10 \times 10^{-3}=\frac{2}{(10+R+0)} \times \frac{10}{1} \times 0.4 \Rightarrow R=790 \Omega$
