Which of the following is NOT true about a shunt ?
- A A shunt may be used for increasing the range of an ammeter
- B a shunt is used to protect the galvanometer from the strong currents
- C A shunt is used for converting a galvanometer into a voltmeter
- D A shunt is used for converting a galvanometer into an ammeter
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) A shunt is used for converting a galvanometer into a voltmeter
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A shunt is a low resistance connected in parallel to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter or to protect it from high current. To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter, a high resistance must be connected in series, making statement C incorrect. C) A shunt is used for…

Figure shows a coil C connected to a galvanometer G. When the North-pole of a bar magnet is pushed towards the coil, the pointer in the galvanometer deflects. Regarding this set up, the following statements are given:
(A) It indicates the presence of electric current in the coil.
(B) The deflection is found to be smaller when the magnet is pushed towards the coil faster.
(C) There is repulsion in the moving magnet and the magnetic pole induced in the coil facing towards the N pole of the magnet.
(D) If the bar magnet does not move, there is no induced current in the coil.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:CUET 2025 Medium - Alcohol is a depressant, which means that even small amounts of alcohol slow down the actions of parts of the brain, so alcohol lengthens the time you take to respond to a stimulus.
Different people react differently to alcohol. In some people, it increase their feelings of aggression, and releases their inhibitions so that they are more likely to be violent or commit other crimes.
An alcoholic needs to drink quite large quantities of alcohol regularly. This causes many parts of the body to be damaged, because alcohol is poisonous to cells. Probably, there are many factors which decide whether or not a person becomes alcoholic. Over a long period of time, it can cause loss of memory and confusion. One way in which the damage is done is that alcohol in the body fluids draws water out of cells by osmosis.
