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 potentiometer consists of a wire of length 4 m and resistance 10 Ω. It is connected to a cell of e.m.f. 2 V. The potential difference per unit length of the wire will be :

(1) 0.5 V/m

(2) 2 V/m

(3) 5 V/m

(4) 10 V/m

In the circuit shown $P\ne R$, the reading of the galvanometer is same with switch S open or closed. Then 

(1) $I_R=I_G$

(2) $I_P=I_G$

(3) $I_Q=I_G$

(4) $I_Q=I_R$

In the following Wheatstone bridge $P/Q=R/S$. If key K is closed, then the galvanometer will show deflection :

1. In left side

2. In right side

3. No deflection

4. none of the above

A galvanometer having a resistance of \(8~\Omega\) is shunted by a wire of resistance \(2~\Omega\). If the total current is \(1~\text{A}\), the part of it passing through the shunt will be:
1. \(0.25~\text{A}\)
2. \(0.8~\text{A}\)
3. \(0.2~\text{A}\)
4. \(0.5~\text{A}\)

In a potentiometer experiment, the galvanometer shows no deflection when a cell is connected across 60 cm of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of 6 Ω, the balance is obtained across 50 cm of the wire. The internal resistance of the cell is 

(1) 0.5 Ω

(2) 0.6 Ω

(3) 1.2 Ω

(4) 1.5 Ω

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

In the circuit given below, the emf of the cell is \(2\) volt and the internal resistance is negligible. The resistance of the voltmeter is \(80\) ohm. The reading of the voltmeter will be:
                                 
1. \(0.80\) volt
2. \(1.60\) volt
3. \(1.33\) volt
4. \(2.00\) volt

A voltmeter has resistance of 2000 ohms and it can measure upto 2V. If we want to increase its range to 10 V, then the required resistance in series will be 

(1) 2000 Ω

(2) 4000 Ω

(3) 6000 Ω

(4) 8000 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)
