Paragraph for question nos. 7 to 9.

A simple ohmmeter consists of battery connected in series with a galvanometer and a resistor, as shown in
figure. The resistance Rs is chosen such that when the terminals a and b are shorted (put in electrical contact,
with negligible resistance between them), the current through the galvanometer gives a full-scale deflection.
Thus, a full scale deflection indicates no resistance between terminals a and b. A zero deflection indicates an
infinite resistance between the terminals. When the terminals are connected across an unknown resistance R,
the current through the galvanometer depends on R, so the scale can be calibrated to give a direct reading of
R, as shown in figure. Because an ohmmeter sends a current through the resistance to be measured, some
caution must be exercised when using this instrument. For example, you would not want to try to measure the
resistance of sensitive ammeter with an ohmmeter, because the current provided by the battery in the ohmmeter
would probably damage the ammeter. Let us use a galvanometer with resistance of 20  and maximum
current of 10 mA,  = 1 V. For a current more that 10 mA, galvanometer would be damaged.
