JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

A galvanometer having coil resistance \(10 \ \Omega\) shows a full scale deflection for a current of \(3 \mathrm{~mA}\). For it to measure a current of \(8 \mathrm{~A}\), the value of the shunt should be:

  1. A  \(3 \times 10^{-3}\  \Omega\)
  2. B  \(4.85 \times 10^{-3} \ \Omega\)
  3. C  \(3.75 \times 10^{-3} \ \Omega\)
  4. D \(2.75 \times 10^{-3} \ \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C)  \(3.75 \times 10^{-3} \ \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(\mathrm{G}=10\ \Omega\) \( \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}=3 \mathrm{~mA} \) \( \mathrm{I}=8 \mathrm{~A}\) In case of conversion of galvanometer into ammeter. We have \(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}} \mathrm{G}=\left(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}\right) \mathrm{S}\)…
