Two similar galvanometers are covered into an ammeter and a milliammeter. The shunt resistance of ammeter as compared to the shunt resistance of milliammeter will be

  1. A Zero
  2. B More
  3. C Less
  4. D Equal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Less

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\left(i-i_g\right) s=i_g G\)
\(\begin{aligned}& \text {is }=\mathrm{ig}(\mathrm{~h}+\mathrm{s}) \\& \mathrm{i}=\mathrm{ig}\left(\frac{\mathrm{~g}}{\mathrm{~s}}+1\right)\end{aligned}\)
More 'S', less i
So milliammeter will have more shunt resistance.
