Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 251

Question: A voltmeter of resistance $ 1000,\Omega $ gives full scale deflection when a current of 100 mA flow through it. The shunt resistance required across it to enable it to be used as an ammeter reading 1 A at full scale deflection is

[SCRA 1994]

Options:

A) $ 10000,\Omega $

B) $ 9000,\Omega $

C) $ 222,\Omega $

D) $ 111,\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

By using $ \frac{i}{i _{g}}=1+\frac{G}{S} $

Therefore $ \frac{i}{100\times {{10}^{-3}}}=1+\frac{1000}{S} $

Therefore $ S=\frac{1000}{9}=111,\Omega $
