MCQ 1591 Mark
A galvenometer has a resistance of $100 \,\Omega $ and a full scale range of $50\, \mu A$ . It can be used as a voltmeter or as a high range ammeter provided a resistance is added to it. Pick the correct range and resistance combination
  • A
    $50\, V$ range with $10\, k\Omega $ resistance in series
  • B
    $10\, V$ range with $200\, k\Omega $ resistance in series
  • C
    $5 \,mA$ range with $10\,\Omega $ resistance in parallel
  • D
    $5\,mA$ range with $0.1\,\Omega$ resistance in parallel
Answer
A galvenometer of resistance $\mathrm{G}$ can be used as a voltmeter of range $\mathrm{V}$ if a high resistance $\mathrm{R}$ is connected in its series where.

$\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{I}_{8}}-\mathrm{G}$

$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{R}}$ is the current in the galvenometer for full scale deflection.

For the choice $( 1)$

${\rm{R}} = \frac{{50}}{{50 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}} - 100 \ne 10{\rm{k}}\Omega $

For the choice $(2)$

$\mathrm{R}=\frac{10}{50 \times 10^{-6}} -100=2 \times 10^{5}-100 $

$ \simeq 2 \times {10^5}\Omega $

$ \simeq 200{\rm{k}}\Omega $

Hence, the choice $( 2)$ is conrect.

Further, the galvanometer may be converted inte an ammeter if a small resistance $'s'$ is connectec (or shunted) in parallel with the galvenometer.

where $S = \frac{{{I_g}}}{{I - {I_g}}} \times G$

$I$ is the range of the annmeter.

For the choice $( 3)$

$S = \frac{{50 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} - 50 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}} \times 100$

$ \simeq \frac{{50 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}} \times 100$

$ \simeq 1\Omega $

Hence. the choices $( 3)$ and $( 4)$ are not contect.

The coil in a moving coil Galvanometer experiences torque proportional to current passed through it. If a steady current $i$ is passed through it the deflection of the coil is found to be $90^o$ . Now the steady current is switched off and a charge $Q$ is suddenly passed through the coil. If the coil has $N$ turns of area $A$ each and its moment of inertia is $I$ about the axis it is going to rotate then the maximum angle through which it deflects upon passing $Q$ is
  • A
    $Q\sqrt {\frac{{\pi NAB}}{{2iI}}} $
  • B
    $\frac{{\pi Q}}{2}\sqrt {\frac{{NAB}}{{iI}}} $
  • C
    $\pi Q\sqrt {\frac{{NAB}}{{2iI}}} $
  • D
    $Q\sqrt {\frac{{\pi NAB}}{{iI}}} $
Answer
$\tau=\mathrm{MB}=\mathrm{C} \theta$

$ \Rightarrow {\rm{N}}i{\rm{AB}} = {\rm{C}}\frac{\pi }{2} \Rightarrow {\rm{C}} = \frac{{2{\rm{N}}i{\rm{AB}}}}{\pi }$         ........$(1)$

$A$ microammeter has a resistance of $100\,\Omega$ and $a$ full scale range of $50\,\mu$ $A$. It can be used as a voltmeter or a higher range ammeter provided a resistance is added to it. Pick the correct range and resistance combination $(s)$.
  • A
    $50\, V$ range with $10\, k\Omega$ resistance in series.
  • B
    $10\, V$ range with $200 \,k\Omega$ resistance in series.
  • C
    $5\, mA$ range with $1\, \Omega$ resistance in parallel.
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$
Answer
To increase the range of ammeter a parallel resistance (called shunt) is required which is given by $S=\left(\frac{i_{g}}{i-i_{g}}\right) G$

$ S=\left(\frac{50 \times 10^{-6}}{95 \times 10^{-50} \times 10^{-60}}\right)(100) \approx 1 \Omega$

To change it in voltmeter a high resistance $R$ is put in series, where $R$ is given by $R=\frac{V}{i_{g}}-G$

$R=\frac{10}{50 \times 10^{-6}}-100 \approx 200 k \Omega$

Mark out the correct options.
  • A
    An ammeter should have small resistance.
  • B
    An ammeter should have large resistance.
  • C
    Avoltmeter should have large resistance.
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(C)$
Answer
Smaller the resistance of an ammeter more accurate will be its reading. An ammeter is said to be ideal if its resistance is zero, i.e. it shows actual (value of) current flowing through the circuit. Also, greater the resistance of voltmeter, more accurate will be its reading. A voltmeter is said to be ideal if its resistance is infinite, i.e, it draws no current from the circuit element for its operation. Hence, an ammeter should have small resistance and a voltmeter should have large resistance.

$A$ galvanometer may be converted into ammeter or voltmeter. In which of the following cases the resistance of the device will be the largest ? (Asssume maximum range of galvanometer $= 1\, mA$)
  • A
    an ammeter of range $10\,A$
  • B
    a voltmeter of range $5\, V$
  • C
    an ammeter of range $5 \,A$
  • D
    a voltmeter of range $10\, V.$
Answer
As shown in figure $1$

$v=I_{g} R_{x}=I \times 10^{-3} \times R_{x}$

As $R_{x}=$ very large voltmeter, $v_{0}$ range will be more.

Maximum voltage may be of range $10 \mathrm{v}$.

A galvanometer coil has a resistance $90\, \Omega$ and full scale deflection current $10\, mA$ . A $910\,\Omega$ resistance is connected in series with the galvanometer to make a voltmeter. If the least count of the voltmeter is $0.1\,V$, the number of divisions on its scale is
  • A
    $90$
  • B
    $91$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
    none
Answer
$V=I R=1 \times(90+910)=1000 \mathrm{V}$

Given least count of voltmeter $=0.1 V$ i.e. $0.1$ volts$/$division

hence, $V=\frac{\text { Total no. of divisions }}{\text { least count }}$

$1000=\frac{\text { Total no. of divisions }}{0.1}$

Total no. of divisions $=100$

A galvanometer has a resistance of $20\,\Omega$ and reads full-scale when $0.2\, V$ is applied across it. To convert it into a $10\, A$ ammeter, the galvanometer coil should have a
  • A
    $0.01\,\Omega$ resistor connected across it
  • B
    $0.02\,\Omega$ resistor connected across it
  • C
    $200\,\Omega$ resistor connected in series with it
  • D
    $2000\, \Omega$ resistor connected in series with it
Answer
Given, $V=0.2 V, R_{g}=20 \Omega$ and $I=10 A$

Hence, $I_{g}=\frac{0.2}{2}=0.01 A$

To convert galvanometer into a $10 \mathrm{A}$ ammeter, the galvanometer coil should have to connect a shunt resistance in parallel, given by

$S=\frac{R_{g} I_{g}}{I-I_{g}}$

$S=\frac{(20)(0.01)}{10-0.01}$

$S=\frac{0.2}{9.99}=0.02 A$

When a galvanometer is shunted with a $4\,\Omega$ resistance, the deflection is reduced to one-fifth. If the galvanometer is further shunted with $2\,\Omega$ wire, the further reduction in the deflection will be (the main current remains same) 
  • A
    $\frac{8}{{13}}$ of the deflection when shunted with $4\,\Omega$ only 
  • B
    $\frac{5}{{13}}$ of the deflection when shunted with $4\,\Omega$ only 
  • C
    $\frac{3}{{4}}$ of the deflection when shunted with $4\,\Omega$ only 
  • D
    $\frac{3}{{13}}$ of the deflection when shunted with $4\,\Omega$ only
Answer
When only $4 \Omega$ resistance is shunted $\left(i_{g}\right)_{1}=i / 5$

$G \times 1 / 5=4 \times(4 / 5)=16 \Omega$

$\left(i_{g}\right)_{2}=\frac{4 / 3}{16+(4 / 3)} i=\frac{1}{13} i$

A moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter reading upto $0.03\,A$ by connecting a shunt of resistance $4r$ across it and into an ammeter reading upto $0.06\,A$ when a shunt of resistance $r$ is connected across it. What is the maximum current which can be sent through this galvanometer if no shunt is used ............... $A$
  • A
    $0.01$
  • B
    $0.02$
  • C
    $0.03$
  • D
    $0.04$
Answer
$\frac{{{i_g}}}{i} = \frac{S}{{G + S}} \Rightarrow {i_g}G = (i - {i_g})S$

$\therefore $ ${i_g}G = (0.03 - {i_g})4r$ ..... $(i)$

and ${i_g}G = (0.06 - {i_g})r$  ..... $(ii)$

From $(i)$ and $(ii)$

$0.12 - 4{i_g} = 0.06 - {i_g}$ $ \Rightarrow {i_g} = 0.02A$.

A small cylindrical soft iron piece is kept in a galvanometer so that
  • A
    A radial uniform magnetic field is produced
  • B
    A uniform magnetic field is produced
  • C
    There is a steady deflection of the coil
  • D
    All of these
Answer
A soft iron core is used in a moving coil galvanometer. The soft iron core attracts the magnetic lines of force and hence the strength of the magnetic field increases if we use soft iron core. Thus the sensitivity of galvanometer increases. Also the use of soft iron core makes the magnetic field radial (i.e the plane of the coil will be always parallel to the direction of magnetic field).
