A voltmeter with internal resistance of x Ω can be used to measure up to 20 V. In order to increase its measuring range to 30 V, the required modification is to .

  1. connect resistor of x2 Ω, in series with voltmeter.
  2. connect resistor of x2 Ω, in parallel to voltmeter.
  3. connect a resistor of x Ω in series with voltmeter.
  4. connect resistor of 2x Ω in parallel to voltmeter.

Answer

(1) connect resistor of x2 Ω, in series with voltmeter.

Solution

The voltmeter gives full-scale deflection when the current through it is

Ig= 20x A

To read 30 V with the same full-scale current, a resistance R must be added in series:

Ig(x+R)=30 ⇒ 20x(x+R)=30

⇒ x+R= 3x2 ⇒ R= x2

∴ Connect a resistor of x2 in series with the voltmeter.
