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

Two moving coil meters $M_1$ and $M_2$ have the following particulars:
$R_1 = 10\,\Omega, N_1 = 30, A_1 = 3.6 \times 10^{-3}\, m^2, B_1 = 0.25\, T$
$R_2 = 14\,\Omega, N_2 = 42, A_2 = 1.8 \times 10^{-3}\, m^2, B_2 = 0.50\, T$
(The spring constants are identical for the two meters). Determine the ratio of voltage sensitivity of $M_2$ and $M_1$.
