When a resistance of $100 \Omega$ is connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance $G$, its range is V . To double its range a resistance of $1000 \Omega$ is connected in series. The value of $G$ is
  1. $900 \Omega$
  2. $300 \Omega$
  3. $200 \Omega$
  4. $100 \Omega$

Solution

When a resistance of $100 \Omega$ is connected in series current, $i=\frac{2 V}{100+R}$ $\qquad$ when a resistance of $1000 \Omega$ is connected in series the its range double current, $\quad i=\frac{2 V}{1100+R}$ From above equations $\begin{aligned} & \frac{V}{100+R}=\frac{2 V}{1100+R} \\ & R=900 \Omega \end{aligned}$ ^
