In a suspended-type moving coil galvanometer,a quartz suspension is used because:

  • A
    It is a good conductor of electricity.
  • B
    Elastic after-effects are negligible.
  • C
    Young's modulus is greater.
  • D
    There is no elastic limit.

When a moving coil galvanometer $(MCG)$ is converted into a voltmeter,the series resistance is '$n$' times the resistance of the galvanometer. How many times the original voltage range of the $MCG$ is the voltmeter now capable of measuring?

If an ammeter is to be used in place of a voltmeter,then we must connect with the ammeter a

In an experiment to find the resistance of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method, a $5 V$ battery and a high resistance of $4.9 k\Omega$ are connected in the circuit. In the absence of any shunt resistance, the galvanometer reads $20$ divisions when current flows in the circuit. To reduce the deflection by half, the value of the shunt resistance used is $98 \Omega$. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is given as $..... \mu A / \text{division}$.

$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter of range $0$ to $5 \, mA$. The galvanometer resistance is $90 \, \Omega$ and the shunt resistance has a value of $10 \, \Omega$. If there are $50$ divisions in the galvanometer-turned-ammeter on either side of zero, its current sensitivity is

$A$ multirange current meter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in the figure. We want a current meter that can measure $10 \text{ mA}$,$100 \text{ mA}$,and $1 \text{ A}$ using a galvanometer of resistance $10 \text{ } \Omega$ that produces maximum deflection for a current of $1 \text{ mA}$. Find the values of $S_1, S_2$,and $S_3$ that have to be used.
