The resistance of a galvanometer is G = 30 \( \Omega \). It gives full scale deflection for \( I_g = 2 \text{ mA} \). It is to be converted into an ammeter to measure current I = 0.3 A. The value of the shunt required is approximately

  1. A 0.2 \( \Omega \)
  2. B 2.03 \( \Omega \)
  3. C 0.06 \( \Omega \)
  4. D 0.09 \( \Omega \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.2 \( \Omega \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(S = \frac{I_g G}{I - I_g}\) \(S = \frac{(2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ A})(30 \, \Omega)}{0.3 \text{ A} - 2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ A}}\) \(S \approx 0.2 \, \Omega\)
