Class 12PhysicsMoving Charges and MagnetismThe Moving Coil Galvanometer (Sensitivity) and Ammeter and Voltmeter Conversion
MediumThe 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
- A$9995 \Omega$ in series.
- B$4995 \Omega$ in series.
- C$9.5 \times 10^{-3} \Omega$ in parallel.
- D$4.95 \times 10^{-3} \Omega$ in parallel.
