$A$ microammeter has a resistance of $100\,\Omega$ and a full-scale range of $50\,\mu A$. It can be used as a voltmeter or a higher-range ammeter provided a resistance is added to it. Pick the correct range and resistance combination$(s)$.

  • A
    $50\, V$ range with $10\, k\Omega$ resistance in series.
  • B
    $10\, V$ range with $200\, k\Omega$ resistance in series.
  • C
    $5\, mA$ range with $1\, \Omega$ resistance in parallel.
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$

$A$ galvanometer is used in a laboratory for detecting the null point in electrical experiments. If, on passing a current of $6 \ mA$, it produces a deflection of $2^{\circ}$, its figure of merit is close to (each division is $1^{\circ}$):

When a galvanometer is shunted with a $4\,\Omega$ resistance,the deflection is reduced to one-fifth. If the galvanometer is further shunted with a $2\,\Omega$ wire,the further reduction in the deflection will be (the main current remains same).

$A$ galvanometer has a $50$ division scale. The battery has no internal resistance. It is found that there is a deflection of $40$ divisions when $R = 2400\,\Omega$. The deflection becomes $20$ divisions when the resistance taken from the resistance box is $4900\,\Omega$. Then we can conclude:

An ammeter, suspected to give inaccurate reading, is connected in series with a silver voltameter. The ammeter indicates $0.54\, A$. A steady current passed for one hour deposits $2.0124\, g$ of silver. If the $E.C.E.$ of silver is $1.118 \times 10^{-3}\, g\, C^{-1}$, then the error in ammeter reading is ................ $A$.
