An ammeter whose resistance is $180\,\Omega$ gives full scale deflection when the current is $2\,mA$. The shunt required to convert it into an ammeter reading $20\,mA$ (in $\Omega$) is

  • A
    $18$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $0.1$
  • D

$A$ galvanometer has a $50$ division scale. The battery has no internal resistance. It is found that there is a deflection of $40$ divisions when $R = 2400\,\Omega$. The deflection becomes $20$ divisions when the resistance taken from the resistance box is $4900\,\Omega$. Then we can conclude:

An ammeter has a range of $1 \ A$ without a shunt. The range of the ammeter can be changed by using different shunt resistances. What is the nature of the graph between the shunt resistance and the range?

The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer is

$A$ galvanometer has $30$ divisions and a current sensitivity of $20 \, \mu A$ per division. Its resistance is $25 \, \Omega$. How will you convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter of $1 \, V$ range? (Find the series resistance in $\Omega$)

An ammeter of resistance $R$ gives a full-scale deflection when a current of $2 \ A$ passes through it. If it is to be converted into an ammeter to measure a maximum current of $10 \ A$,the required shunt is:
