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

In the given figure an ammeter \(A\) consists of a \(240 \Omega\) coil connected in parallel to a \(10 \Omega\) shunt. The reading of the ammeter is _______ \(\mathrm{mA}\).

  1. A \(150\)
  2. B \(160\)
  3. C \(170\)
  4. D \(180\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(160\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { Req }\) \(=140.4+\frac{240 \times 10}{240+10}\) \(\text { Req }=140.4+\frac{2400}{250}\) \(\text { Req. }=150 \Omega\) \(\therefore\) Current in ammeter\( =\frac{24}{150}\) \(=160 \mathrm{~mA}\)
