An ammeter gives full scale deflection when a current of $1.0 \ A$ is passed through it. To convert it into a $10 \ A$ range ammeter,the ratio of its resistance $(G)$ to the shunt resistance $(S)$ will be:

  • A
    $1: 9$
  • B
    $1: 10$
  • C
    $1: 11$
  • D
    $9: 1$

$A$ shunt of resistance $1\ \Omega$ is connected across a galvanometer of $120\ \Omega$ resistance. $A$ current of $5.5\ A$ flows through the circuit,and the galvanometer shows full-scale deflection. What is the current that would cause full-scale deflection in the galvanometer in the absence of the shunt (in $A$)?

The resistance of a $1\, A$ ammeter is $0.018\,\Omega$. To convert it into a $10\, A$ ammeter,the shunt resistance required will be:

$A$ student uses the resistance of a known resistor $(1 \,\Omega)$ to calibrate a voltmeter and an ammeter using the circuits shown below. The student measures the ratio of the voltage to current to be $1 \times 10^3 \,\Omega$ in circuit $(a)$ and $0.999 \,\Omega$ in circuit $(b)$. From these measurements,the resistance (in $\Omega$) of the voltmeter and ammeter are found to be close to

The circular coil of a galvanometer has $50$ turns. The coil has a radius of $1 \ cm$. The coil is placed in a radial magnetic field of $0.010 \ T$. The torsion coefficient of the spring on which the coil hangs is $3 \times 10^{-7} \ N-m-rad^{-1}$. Determine the deflection of the galvanometer's pointer if the current through the coil is $1.0 \ mA$. (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ $36 \,\Omega$ galvanometer is shunted by a resistance of $4 \,\Omega$. The percentage of the total current that passes through the galvanometer is (in $\%$)
