With a resistance '$X$' connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance $100 \Omega$, it acts as a voltmeter of range $0 - 15 \text{ V}$. To double the range, a resistance of $1500 \Omega$ is to be connected in series with '$X$'. The value of '$X$' in $\Omega$ is

  • A
    $1000$
  • B
    $1200$
  • C
    $1400$
  • D
    $1600$

In a moving coil galvanometer,two moving coils $M_1$ and $M_2$ have the following particulars:
$R_1 = 5 \ \Omega, N_1 = 15, A_1 = 3.6 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2, B_1 = 0.25 \ T$
$R_2 = 7 \ \Omega, N_2 = 21, A_2 = 1.8 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2, B_2 = 0.50 \ T$
Assuming that the torsional constant of the springs is the same for both coils,what will be the ratio of the voltage sensitivity of $M_1$ and $M_2$?
