Two galvanometers have identical characteristics. One of them is converted into a milliammeter and the other into a microammeter. The shunt resistance of microammeter as compared to milliammeter will be :

  1. A same
  2. B less
  3. C more
  4. D zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) more

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter, a shunt resistance \((S)\) is connected in parallel. The required shunt value is inversely proportional to the current range ( \(I\) ): \(S \approx \frac{I_g G}{I}\) Since a microammeter measures a much smaller current range than a…
