The resistance of a galvanometer is \(50\, ohm\) and the maximum current which can be passed through it is \(0.002\, A\). What resistance must be connected to it in order to convert it into an ammeter of range \(0 -0.5\, A\) ?....\(ohm\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(0.2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
since shunt resistance is connected in parallel with galvanometer, both will have same voltage drop.
\((0.002)\left(R_{G}\right)=(0.5-0.002)\left(r_{s}\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow r_{s} \approx 0.2\, \Omega\)
