$A$ moving coil galvanometer has a resistance of $50\,\Omega$ and gives full-scale deflection for $10\,mA$. How could it be converted into an ammeter with a full-scale deflection for $1\,A$?

  • A
    $50/99\,\Omega$ in series
  • B
    $50/99\,\Omega$ in parallel
  • C
    $0.01\,\Omega$ in series
  • D
    $0.01\,\Omega$ in parallel

To send $10 \%$ of the main current through a moving coil galvanometer of resistance $99 \Omega$,the shunt required is . . . . . . . (in $\Omega$)

In the conversion of a moving coil galvanometer into an ammeter of a required range,what is the resistance of the ammeter so formed? [$S$ = shunt resistance and $G$ = resistance of the galvanometer]

An ammeter has a range of $1 \, A$ without a shunt. The range can be varied by using different shunt resistances. The graph between shunt resistance $(S)$ and range $(I)$ will have the nature of which curve shown in the figure?

The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer of resistance $45 \Omega$ falls from $30$ divisions to $3$ divisions. The length of the shunt wire required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter is [specific resistance of the material of the shunt wire $= 5 \times 10^{-7} \Omega m$ and area of cross-section of the wire $= 4 \times 10^{-7} m^2$]. (in $m$)
