Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 233

Question: The resistance of a galvanometer is 50 ohms and the current required to give full scale deflection is $ 100,\mu A $ . In order to convert it into an ammeter, reading upto 10A, it is necessary to put a resistance of

[MP PMT 1997; AIIMS 1999]

Options:

A) $ 5\times {{10}^{-3}},\Omega $ in parallel

B) $ 5\times {{10}^{-4}},\Omega $ in parallel

C) $ 10^{5},\Omega $ in series

D) $ 99,950,\Omega $ in series

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Resistance in parallel $ S=\frac{Gi _{g}}{i-i _{g}}=\frac{50\times 100\times {{10}^{-6}}}{(10-100\times {{10}^{-6}})} $

Therefore $ S=5\times {{10}^{-4}},\Omega $
