An ammeter of $100 \, \Omega$ resistance gives full-scale deflection for a current of $10^{-5} \, A$. The shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of $1 \, A$ range will be:

  • A
    $10^{-4} \, \Omega$
  • B
    $10^{-5} \, \Omega$
  • C
    $10^{-3} \, \Omega$
  • D
    $10^{-1} \, \Omega$

An ammeter gives full-scale deflection when a current of $2 \, A$ flows through it. The resistance of the ammeter is $12 \, \Omega$. If the same ammeter is to be used for measuring a maximum current of $5 \, A$,then the ammeter must be connected with a resistance of:

When a resistance of $100 \Omega$ is connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance $R$,its range is $V$. To double its range,a resistance of $1000 \Omega$ is connected in series. Find $R$. (in $\Omega$)

$A$ moving coil galvanometer,having a resistance $G$,produces full scale deflection when a current $I_g$ flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into $(i)$ an ammeter of range $0$ to $I_0$ $(I_0 > I_g)$ by connecting a shunt resistance $R_A$ to it and $(ii)$ into a voltmeter of range $0$ to $V$ $(V = GI_0)$ by connecting a series resistance $R_V$ to it. Then,
