PYQ NEET- Moving Charges And Magnetism L-7
In an ammeter $99.8 %$ of main current passes through the galvanometer. If resistance of galvanometer is $\mathrm{G}$, the resistance of ammeter will be
A) $\frac{1}{499} G$
B) $\frac{499}{500} G$
C) $\frac{1}{500} G$
D) $\frac{500}{499} G$
Answer: (C) $\frac{1}{500} G$
Sol:
In parallel arrangement, I $\alpha$ R$^{-1}$
Now G/S $=99.8 / 0.2$ $$ S=G / 499.0 $$
Hence, $R_A=\frac{G S}{G+S}=\frac{G}{G+S}$
