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

A moving coil galvanometer of resistance \(100 \Omega\) shows a full scale deflection for a current of 1 mA . The value of resistance required to convert this galvanometer into an ammeter, showing full scale deflection for a current of 5 mA , is _________ \(\Omega\)

  1. A 25
  2. B 10
  3. C 0.5
  4. D 2.5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 25

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(G =100 \Omega\) \(i _{ g }=1 mA\) \(i =5 mA\) \(r_s=\frac{G}{\left(\frac{i}{i_g}-1\right)}\) \(=\frac{100}{\left(\frac{5}{1}-1\right)}=25 \Omega\)
