Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 265

Question: A galvanometer has a resistance of 25 ohm and a maximum of 0.01 A current can be passed through it. In order to change it into an ammeter of range 10 A, the shunt resistance required is

[MP PET 2000]

Options:

A) 5/999 ohm

B) 10/999 ohm

C) 20/999 ohm

D) 25/999 ohm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

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

Therefore $ 0.01=10\frac{S}{25+S} $
$ \Rightarrow ,1000S=25+S $

Therefore $ S=\frac{25}{999}\Omega $ .
