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

A galvanometer with its coil resistance \(25\,\Omega \) requires a current of  \(1\,mA\)  for its full deflection. In order to construct an ammeter to read up to a current of \(2\,A,\)  the approximate value of the shunt resistance should be

  1. A \(2.5 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,\Omega \)
  2. B \(1.25 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,\Omega \)
  3. C \(2.5 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,\Omega \)
  4. D \(1.25 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,\Omega \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.25 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,\Omega \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A ccording to question, current through galvanometer, \(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}=1\, \mathrm{mA}\) Current through shunt \(\left(I-I_{g}\right)=2\, A\) Galvanometer resistance \(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{g}}=25\, \Omega\) Resistance of shunt, \(\mathrm{S}=?\)…
