Question on: WAEC Physics - 2010

A galvanometer of internal resistance 50(\Omega) and full scale deflection of 20 mA is converted into a voltmeter by connecting a resistor of resistance 1950(\Omega) in series to it. Calculate the maximum voltage that can be read by the voltmeter

A
20V
B
30V
C
38V
D
40V
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D

V = IR1 + IR2

= 0.02 x 50 + 0.02 x 1950 = 40V
