OH! Switches! Thank you Redbelly98, that was just the tip I needed. I definitely overcomplicated this problem.
I will updated this post with the solution presented in class once this is reviewed to compare with. Thanks!
Ok, so in order to have full-scale deflection w/ 20.0 V:
V = IR
20/(1x10^-3) = 20000 ohms (<--total resistance)
20000 - 60 = 19940 ohms for the resistor in series with the 60 ohm galvanometer.
Likewise, for 50 V the resistor would need to be 49940 ohm and for 100 V, 99940 ohm
I'm not sure...
Homework Statement
"Design a multirange voltmeter capable of full-scale deflection for 20.0V, 50.0V, and 100 V. Assume that the meter movement is a galvanometer that has a resistance of 60.0 ohms and gives a full-scale deflection for a current of 1.00 mA"Homework Equations
V = IR
