A moving coil galvanometer has 150 equal divisions. Its current sensitivity is 10 divisions per milliampere and voltage sensitivity is 2 divisions per millivolt. In order that each division reads 1 volt, the resistance in ohms needed to be connected in series with the coil will be
  1. $10^3$
  2. $10^5$
  3. 99995
  4. 9995

Solution

$I_g=15 \mathrm{~mA} \quad V g=75 \mathrm{mV}$ $\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{I}_g}-\frac{\mathrm{V}_g}{I_g}$
