A DC voltmeter with a sensitivity of 500ohm/V. What will be the current through voltmeter for a full-scale reading in 100V range?
- A 300mA
- B 250mA
- C 500mA
- D 200mA
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The sensitivity of the voltmeter is given as 500ohm/V. This means that for every volt of input, the voltmeter will draw a current of 500mA. Since the full-scale reading is 100V, the current through the voltmeter can be calculated by multiplying the sensitivity by the full-scale reading: 500ohm/V * 100V = 50,000mA = 50A. However, the question asks for the current in the 100V range, so we need to divide the current by 100 to get the current for a full-scale reading in the 100V range: 50A / 100 = 500mA. Therefore, the correct answer is 500mA.
