Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 260

Question: The resistance of a galvanometer coil is R. What is the shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of range 4 times

[BHU 2000]

Options:

A) $ \frac{R}{5} $

B) $ \frac{R}{4} $

C) $ \frac{R}{3} $

D) 4 R

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \frac{i}{i _{g}}=1+\frac{G}{S}\Rightarrow \frac{4}{1}=1+\frac{R}{S} $
$ \Rightarrow S=\frac{R}{3} $ .
