An ammeter of resistance \( 0.54 \text{ } \Omega \) reads current unto 1 A. The value of the shunt required to increase the range to 10 A is

  1. A \( 0.09 \text{ } \Omega \)
  2. B \( 0.05 \text{ } \Omega \)
  3. C \( 0.06 \text{ } \Omega \)
  4. D \( 0.07 \text{ } \Omega \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 0.06 \text{ } \Omega \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( S = \frac{I_g R_g}{I - I_g} \) \( S = \frac{1 \text{ A} \times 0.54 \text{ } \Omega}{10 \text{ A} - 1 \text{ A}} \) \( S = 0.06 \text{ } \Omega \)
