Which of the following statement is wrong:
1. Voltmeter should have high resistance
2. Ammeter should have low resistance
3. Ammeter is placed in parallel across the conductor in a circuit
4. Voltmeter is placed in parallel across the conductor in a circuit
A moving coil galvanometer has a resistance of 50 Ωand gives full scale deflection for 10 mA. How could it be converted into an ammeter with a full scale deflection for 1A :
1. 50/99 Ω in series
2. 50/99 Ω in parallel
3. 0.01 Ω in series
4. 0.01 Ω in parallel
The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is
1. Zero
2. Very low
3. Very large
4. Infinite
The net resistance of a voltmeter should be large to ensure that :
1. | It does not get overheated |
2. | It draws excessive current |
3. | It can measure large potential difference |
4. | It does not appreciably change the potential difference to be measured |
A galvanometer having a resistance of 8 Ω is shunted by a wire of resistance 2 Ω. If the total current is 1 A, the part of it passing through the shunt will be:
1. 0.25 A
2. 0.8 A
3. 0.2 A
4. 0.5 A
A voltmeter of resistance 1000 Ω gives full-scale deflection when a current of 100 mA flow through it. The shunt resistance required across it to enable it to be used as an ammeter reading 1 A at full-scale deflection is :
1. 10000 Ω
2. 9000 Ω
3. 222 Ω
4. 111 Ω
If an ammeter A reads 2 A and the voltmeter V reads 20 V, what is the value of resistance R? (Assuming finite resistances of ammeter and voltmeter)
1. | Exactly 10 Ω |
2. | Less than 10 Ω |
3. | More than 10 Ω |
4. | We cannot definitely say |
A galvanometer has a resistance of 25 ohm and a maximum of 0.01 A current can be passed through it. In order to change it into an ammeter of range 10 A, the shunt resistance required is
1. 5/999 ohm
2. 10/999 ohm
3. 20/999 ohm
4. 25/999 ohm
A galvanometer has 30 divisions and a sensitivity 16μA/div. It can be converted into a voltmeter to read 3 V by connecting (approximately):
1. Resistance nearly 6 k Ω in series
2. 6 k Ω in parallel
3. 500 Ω in series
4. It cannot be converted
A voltmeter has a range 0-V with a series resistance R. With a series resistance 2R, the range is 0-V'. The correct relation between V and V' is :
1. V'=2V
2. V'>2V
3. V'>>2V
4. V'<2V
