An ammeter of resistance 5 \( \Omega \) reads up to 1 A. The value of the shunt required to increase its range to 5 A will be

  1. A 12.5 \( \Omega \)
  2. B 1.25 \( \Omega \)
  3. C 1.00 \( \Omega \)
  4. D 0.125 \( \Omega \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1.25 \( \Omega \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( S = \frac{I_g R_g}{I - I_g} \) \( S = \frac{(1)(5)}{5 - 1} \) \( S = 1.25 \, \Omega \)
