Question

A galvanometer has a current sensittivity of 1mA per division. A variable shunt is connected across the galvanometer and the combination is put in series with a resistance of 500Ω and cell of internal resistance 1Ω. It gives deflection of 5 division for shunt of 5 ohm and 20 division for shunt of 25 ohm. the emf of cell is

Solution

The correct option is A 47.1V
RgIg=S(IIg)
I=Ig(Rg+S)/S

Case 1: S=5 Ω,Ig=5 mA
I1=Rg+5.............(i)
Case 2: S=25 Ω,Ig=20 mA
I2=0.8(Rg+25)=0.8Rg+20.............(ii)

E=501I+IgRg................(iii)
Substituting (i) in (iii),
E=2505+506Rg.............(iv)
Substituting (ii) in (iii),
E=10020+420.8Rg.............(v)
Solving (iv) & (v),
E=47136 mV
E47.1 V
