Important Questions on Current Electricity
The diagram below shows a dual control switch circuit connected to a bulb. Copy the diagram and complete it so that the bulb is switched ON.





A student uses the resistance of a known resistor ( ) to calibrate a voltmeter and an ammeter using the circuits shown below. The student measures the ratio of the voltage to current to be in circuit
(a) and in circuit (b). From these measurements, the resistance (in ) of the voltmeter and ammeter are found to be close to


Distinguish between ammeter and voltmeter.








The galvanometer deflection, when key is closed but is open, equals (see figure). On closing also and adjusting to the deflection in galvanometer becomes The resistance of the galvanometer is, then, given by [Neglect the internal resistance of battery]:
