(II) A milliammeter reads 35 mA full scale. It consists of a 0.20 Ωresistor in parallel with a 33 Ω galvanometer. Howcan you change this ammeter to a voltmeter giving a full-scalereading of 25 V without taking the ammeter apart? Whatwill be the sensitivity(Ω /V) of your voltmeter?
(II) A 100-W lightbulb has a resistance of about 12 Q when
cold (20°C) and 140 N when on (hot). Estimate the tem-
perature of the filament when hot assuming an average
temperature coefficient of resistivity a = 0.0045 (C°)-1.
(III) A 2.5 kΩ and a 3.7 kΩ resistor are connected inparallel; this combination is connected in series with a 1.4 kΩresistor. If each resistor is rated at 0.5 W (maximumwithout overheating), what is the maximum voltage thatcan be applied across the whole network?
