A galvanometer shows full scale deflection for a current of 4 mA. It is converted into an ammeter of range from 0 to 8
A by using a shunt. The ratio of resistance of the galvanometer coil to the resistance of the shunt used is nearly:

  1. A \(2000 : 1\)
  2. B \(1:2000\)
  3. C \(1000: 1\)
  4. D \(1 : 1000\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2000 : 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_g R_g = (I - I_g) R_s\) \(\frac{R_g}{R_s} = \frac{I - I_g}{I_g}\) \(\frac{R_g}{R_s} = \frac{8 \text{ A} - 4 \times 10^{-3} \text{ A}}{4 \times 10^{-3} \text{ A}}\) \(\frac{R_g}{R_s} = \frac{7.996}{0.004} = 1999\) Ratio is approximately \(2000:1\).
