Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ For measuring the potential difference across a resistance of $600\,\Omega$,the voltmeter with resistance $1000\,\Omega$ will be preferred over a voltmeter with resistance $4000\,\Omega$.
Reason $R:$ $A$ voltmeter with higher resistance will draw smaller current than a voltmeter with lower resistance.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    $A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$
  • D
    $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct

$A$ galvanometer has resistance '$G$' and range '$V_g$'. How much resistance is required to read voltage up to '$V$' volt?

“By increasing current sensitivity,voltage sensitivity is also increased”. This statement is true or false.

To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter,we connect . . . . . . .

The scale of a galvanometer is divided into $160$ equal divisions. The galvanometer shows full scale deflection of $16$ mA and maximum voltage is $80$ mV. Now the range is changed so that the galvanometer reads $160$ $V$. The required resistance to be connected is

When a shunt of $4\,\Omega$ is attached to a galvanometer,the deflection reduces to $\frac{1}{5}$th of its initial value. If an additional shunt of $4\,\Omega$ is attached in parallel to the first,what will be the new deflection?
