Question: A 50 ohm galvanometer gets full scale deflection when a current of 0.01 A passes through the coil. When it is converted to a 10 A ammeter, the shunt resistance is

[Orissa JEE 2003]

Options:

A) 0.01 W

B) 0.05 W

C) 2000 W

D) 5000 W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ i _{g}=i\frac{S}{G+S} $

Therefore $ \frac{0.01}{10}=\frac{5}{50+S} $

Therefore $ S=\frac{50}{999}=0.05\Omega $ .
