Question
Find the resistance (in kΩ) that must be placed in series with a 25.0 Ω galvanometer having a 50.0 µA sensitivity (the same as the one discussed in the text) to allow it to be used as a voltmeter with a 0.410 V full-scale reading. 
Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data

Resistance of the galvanometer is R subscript G equals 25 space straight capital omega

Current in galvanometer is I subscript G equals 50 space straight mu straight A

Voltage is V equals 0.410 space straight V

Note:

1 space straight A equals 10 to the power of 6 space straight mu straight A

1 space straight k straight capital omega equals 1000 space straight capital omega

Find:

Resistance that must be placed in series with galvanometer.
