Galvanometer Ammeter and Voltmeter
Question

A galvanometer gives full scale deflection with 0.006 A current. By connecting it to a 4990 Ω resistance, it can be converted into a voltmeter of range 0 - 30 V. If connected to a 2n249Ω resistance, it becomes an ammeter of range 0 - 1.5 A. The value of n is

Solution

V = ig (R + G)

30 = 0.006 (4990 + G)

G = 10

 i(RG)R+G=igG

 i=(R+G)igR

 1.5=(10+2n249)0.0062n249

n = 5
