Current Electricity Ques 81

  1. A moving coil galvanometer of resistance $100$ $ \Omega$ is used as an ammeter using a resistance $0.1$ $ \Omega$. The maximum deflection current in the galvanometer is $100$ $ \mu A$. Find the current in the circuit, so that the ammeter shows maximum deflection.

(2005, 2M)

(a) $100.1 $ $mA$

(b) $1000.1 $ $mA$

(c) $10.01 $ $mA$

(d) $1.01 $ $mA$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 81.(a)

Solution:

Formula:

Ammeter:

  1. $V _{a b}=i _g \cdot G=\left(i-i _g\right) S$

$\Rightarrow \quad i=(1+\frac{G}{S}) i _g$

Substituting the values, we get

$ i=100.1 $ $mA $

$\therefore$ Correct answer is (a).
