A galvanometer of resistance G is converted into a voltmeter to measure upto V volts by connecting a resistance $R_1$ in series with the coil. If a resistance $R_2$ is connected in series with it, then it came the $\frac{v}{3}$ volts. Find the resistance $R_3$ in terms of $R_1$ and $R_2$ required to be connected to convert it into a voltmeter that can read upto 3V volts:

$4R_1-3R_2$ $3R_1-2R_2$ $4R_1+3R_2$ $3R_1+2R_2$ |
$4R_1-3R_2$ |
Let Ig be the current through galvanometer at full deflection. $ V = I_g(R_g+R_1)$ .........(1) $ \frac{V}{3} = I_g(R_g+R_2)$ .......(2) Dividing the two we will get $ 3 = \frac{R_g+R_1}{R_g+R_2}$ $ 2R_g = R_1 - 3R_2$ $ 3V = I_g(R_g+R_3)$ .......(3) Dividing (1) and (3) $ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{R_g+R_1}{R_g+R_3} \Rightarrow 2R_g = R_3 -3R_1$ $\Rightarrow R_1- 3R_2 = R_3 -3R_1 \Rightarrow R_3 = 4R_1 - 3R_2$
