Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 190

Question: A galvanometer of $ 100,\Omega $ resistance gives full scale deflection when 10 mA of current is passed. To convert it into 10 A range ammeter, the resistance of the shunt required will be

[MP PMT 1985]

Options:

A) $ -10,\Omega $

B) $ 1,\Omega $

C) $ 0.1,\Omega $

D) $ 0.01,\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ S=\frac{i _{g}G}{i-i _{g}}=\frac{100\times 0.01}{(10-0.01)}=\frac{1}{10}=0.1\Omega $
