If only $2 \%$ of the total current passes through an ammeter having a coil of resistance $R$,then the resistance of the shunt of the ammeter is:

  • A
    $49 R$
  • B
    $\frac{R}{50}$
  • C
    $\frac{R}{49}$
  • D
    $50 R$

When a galvanometer is shunted with a $4\,\Omega$ resistance,the deflection is reduced to one-fifth. If the galvanometer is further shunted with a $2\,\Omega$ wire,the further reduction in the deflection will be (the main current remains same).

The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer falls from $50$ divisions to $10$ divisions,when a shunt of $12 \Omega$ is connected with it. The resistance of the galvanometer coil is . . . . . . . (in $\Omega$)

An ammeter, suspected to give inaccurate reading, is connected in series with a silver voltameter. The ammeter indicates $0.54\, A$. A steady current passed for one hour deposits $2.0124\, g$ of silver. If the $E.C.E.$ of silver is $1.118 \times 10^{-3}\, g\, C^{-1}$, then the error in ammeter reading is ................ $A$.

If only $\frac{1}{51}$ of the main current is to be passed through a galvanometer,then the shunt required is $R_1$. If only $\frac{1}{11}$ of the main voltage is to be developed across the galvanometer,then the resistance required is $R_2$. Find the ratio $\frac{R_2}{R_1}$.

“By increasing current sensitivity,voltage sensitivity is also increased”. This statement is true or false.
