A galvanometer can be converted into voltmeter of given range by connecting a suitable resistance R, in series with the galvanometer, whose value is given by,
$\text{R}_\text{s}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{I}_\text{g}}-\text{G}$
where Vis the voltage to be measured, lg is the current for full scale deflection of galvanometer and G is the resistance of galvanometer.

Series resistor(R,) increases range of voltmeter and the effective resistance of galvanometer. It also protects the galvanometer from damage due to large current. Voltmeter is a high resistance instrument and it is always connected in parallel with the circuit element across which potential difference is to be measured. An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance. In order to increase the range of voltmeter n times the value of resistance to be connected in series with galvanometer is Rs = (n - 1)G.

Answer

  1. (d) $9975\Omega$

Explanation:

A galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter of given range by connecting a suitable high resistance R in series of galvanometer, which is given by,

$\text{R}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{I}_\text{g}}-\text{G}=\frac{100}{10\times10^{-3}}-25=10000-25=9975\Omega$

  1. (c) $15000\Omega$

Explanation:

An ideal voltmeter should have a very high resistance.

  1. (c) $990\Omega$

Explanation:

Resistance of voltmeter $=\frac{25}{25\times10^{-3}}=1000\Omega$

$\therefore\text{X}=1000-10=990\Omega$

  1. (d) A high resistance R is connected in series with MCG.

Explanation:

To convert a moving coil galvanometer into a voltmeter, it is connected with a high resistance in series. The voltmeter is connected in parallel to measure the potential difference. As the resistance is high, the voltmeter itself does not consume current.

  1. (d) Infinity.

Explanation:

The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is infinity.

Motion of Charge in Magnetic Field
An electron with speed $V_0$ << c moves in a circle of radius $r _{\circ}$ in a uniform magnetic field. This electron is able to traverse a circular path as the magnetic force acting on the electron is perpendicular to both $V_0$ and B ,as shown in the figure. This force continuously deflects the particle sideways without changing its speed and the particle will move along a circle perpendicular to the field. The time required for one revolution of the electron is $T _{ o }$.

According to Einstein, when a photonoflight offrequencyu or wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive metal surface of work function $\phi_0$, where $\phi_0<\text{h}\upsilon$ (here, h is Planck's constant), then the emission of photoelectrons takes place. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is given by $\text{K}_\text{max}=\text{h}\upsilon-\phi_0$. If the frequency of the incident light is $\upsilon_0$ called thresold frequency, the photoelectrons are emitted from metal without any kinetic energy. So $\text{h}\upsilon_0=\phi_0$.

  1. A metal of work function 3.3eV is illuminated by light of wavelength 300nm. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted is (taking h = 6.6 × 10-34 Js).

  3. 1.65eV

In 1909, Robert Millikan was the first to find the charge of an electron in his now-famous oil-drop experiment. In that experiment, tiny oil drops were sprayed into a uniform electric field between a horizontal pair of oppositely charged plates. The drops were observed with a magnifying eyepiece, and the electric field was adjusted so that the upward force on some negatively charged oil drops was just sufficient to balance the downward force of gravity. That is, when suspended, upward force qE just equaled Mg. Millikan accurately measured the charges on many oil drops and found the values to be whole number multiples of 1.6 × 10-19C the charge of the electron. For this, he won the Nobel Prize.

  1. If a drop of mass 1.08 × 10-14kg remains stationary in an electric field of 1.68 × 105NC-1, then the charge of this drop is:
  1. 6.40 × 10-19C
  2. 3.2 × 10-19C
  3. 1.6 × 10-19C
  4. 4.8 × 10-19C
  1. Extra electrons on this particular oil drop (given the presently known charge of the electron) are:
  1. 4
  2. 3
  3. 5
  4. 8
  1. A negatively charged oil drop is prevented from falling under gravity by applying a vertical electric field 100V m-1. If the mass of the drop is 1.6 × 10-3g, the number of electrons carried by the drop is (g = 10m s-2)
  1. 1018
  2. 1015
  3. 1012
  4. 109
  1. The important conclusion given by Millikan's experiment about the charge is:
  1. Charge is never quantized.
  2. Charge has no definite value.
  3. Charge is quantized.
  4. Charge on oil drop always increases.
  1. If in Millikan's oil drop experiment, charges on drops are found to be $8\mu\text{C, }12\mu\text{C, }20\mu\text{C, }$ then quanta of charge is:
  1. $8\mu\text{C}$

  2. $20\mu\text{C}$

  3. $12\mu\text{C}$

  4. $4\mu\text{C}$
