A galvanometer of resistance G is converted into a voltameter of range 0-1 V by connecting a resistance R in series with it. The additional resistance that should be connected in series with R1 to increase the range of the voltmeter to 0-2V will be :
  1. G
  2. R1
  3. R1-G
  4. R1+G

Solution

igR1+G=1

igR1+G+R2=2

1R1+GR1+G+R2=2

R1+G+R2=2R1+2G

R2=R1+G
