Moving Charges And Magnetism Ques 82

82. The resistance of an ammeter is $13 $ $\Omega$ and its scale is graduated for a current upto $100$ amps. After an additional shunt has been connected to this ammeter it becomes possible to measure currents upto $750 $ amperes by this meter. The value of shunt-resistance is

[2007]

(a) $2 $ $\Omega$

(b) $0.2 $ $\Omega$

(c) $2 k $ $\Omega$

(d) $20 $ $\Omega$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 82.(a)

Solution:

  1. (a) We know

$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{I}{I_S}=1+\frac{G}{S} \\ & \frac{750}{100}=1+\frac{13}{S} \\ & S \Rightarrow 2 \Omega \end{aligned} $
