The net resistance of a voltmeter should be large to ensure that:
 
1. it does not get overheated.
2. it does not draw excessive current.
3. it can measure large potential differences.
4. it does not appreciably change the potential difference to be measured.

A galvanometer of resistance \(50~\Omega\)  is connected to a battery of \(3\) V along with a resistance of \(2950~\Omega\) in series. A full-scale deflection of \(30\) divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. In order to reduce its deflection to \(20\) divisions, the resistance added in series should be:
1. \(1050~ \Omega\)
2. \(1550~ \Omega\)
3. \(2050~ \Omega\)
4. \(1500~ \Omega\)
