Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 314

Question: A moving coil galvanometer of resistance 100W is used as an ammeter using a resistance 0.1W. The maximum deflection current in the galvanometer is 100mA. Find the minimum current in the circuit so that the ammeter shows maximum deflection

[IIT-JEE (Screening) 2005]

Options:

A) 100.1 mA

B) 1000.1 mA

C) 10.01 mA

D) 1.01 mA

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ I _{G}\times G=( I-I _{G} ),S $

Therefore I = $ ( 1+\frac{G}{S} )I _{G} $

Therefore I = 100.1 mA
