Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 287

Question: To convert a 800 mV range milli voltmeter of resistance 40 W into a galvanometer of 100 mA range, the resistance to be connected as shunt is

[CBSE PMT 2002]

Options:

A) 10 W

B) 20 W

C) 30 W

D) 40 W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ \frac{i}{i _{g}}=1+\frac{G}{S} $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{i.G}{V _{g}}=1+\frac{G}{S}\Rightarrow \frac{100\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 40}{800\times {{10}^{-3}}}=1+\frac{40}{S} $

Therefore $ S=10\Omega $ .
