A multirange voltmeter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in figure. We want to construct a voltmeter that can measure 2 V, 20 V and 200 V using a galvanometer of resistance 10 ? and that produces maximum deflection for current of 1 mA. Find R1, R2and R3 that have to be used,

Explanation- applying expression in different situation
For iG (G+R1) = 2 , for 2V range
iG (G+R1+R2) = 20 , for 20V range
iG (G+R1+R2+R3) = 2 , for 200V range
on solving we get R1= 1990ohm, R2= 18kohm, R3= 180k ohm

Describe the motion of a charged particle in a cyclotron if the frequency of the radio frequency (rf) field were doubled.
Describe the motion of a charged particle in a cyclotron if the frequency of the radio frequency (rf) field were doubled.
This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation – here, the condition of magnetic resonance is violated.
When the frequency of radio frequency field were doubled, the time period of the radio frequency field were halved. Therefore, the duration in which particle
