8. An ammeter having internal resistance of \( 0.81 \, \Omega \) can read upto 1A. To convert it into an ammeter reading 0 - 10 A we have to connect :

  1. A a \( 90 \, \Omega \) resistor in series
  2. B a \( 9.0 \, \Omega \) resistor in parallel
  3. C a \( 0.09 \, \Omega \) resistor in parallel
  4. D a \( 0.9 \, \Omega \) resistor in parallel
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a \( 0.09 \, \Omega \) resistor in parallel

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( R_{sh} = \frac{I_g R_g}{I - I_g} \) \( R_{sh} = \frac{1 \, A \times 0.81 \, \Omega}{10 \, A - 1 \, A} \) \( R_{sh} = \frac{0.81}{9} \, \Omega = 0.09 \, \Omega \) Connect a \( 0.09 \, \Omega \) resistor in parallel.
