Question:

For an ammeter, voltmeter and galvanometer having resistances $R_{A}, R_{V}$ and $R_{G}$ respectively, the correct relation among these resistances.

Options:

$R_{A}<R_{G}>R_{V}$

$R_{A}<R_{G}<R_{V}$

$R_{A}>R_{G}>R_{V}$

$R_{A}>R_{G}<R_{V}$

Correct Answer:

$R_{A}<R_{G}<R_{V}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $R_{A}<R_{G}<R_{V}$

Ammeter has law resistance $(R_A)$ to minimize its effect on current.

Voltmeter has high resistance $(R_V)$ to minimize the current it drawn when measuring voltage.

Galvanometer has an intermediate resistance $(R_G)$ because it needs to detect small currents.

$∴R_{A}<R_{G}<R_{V}$
