Vedclass · Answer

(A) The shunt resistance $S$ required to convert a galvanometer of resistance $G$ and full-scale deflection current $I_g$ into an ammeter of range $I$ is given by the formula: $S = \frac{I_g G}{I - I_g}$.In the first case, the range is $I_1 = 0.04 \,A$ with a shunt $S_1 = 3r$. Thus, $3r = \frac{I_g G}{0.04 - I_g} \quad \dots(1)$.In the second case, the range is $I_2 = 0.8 \,A$ with a shunt $S_2 = r$. Thus, $r = \frac{I_g G}{0.8 - I_g} \quad \dots(2)$.Dividing equation $(1)$ by equation $(2)$, we get:$\frac{3r}{r} = \frac{I_g G}{0.04 - I_g} 	imes \frac{0.8 - I_g}{I_g G}$$3 = \frac{0.8 - I_g}{0.04 - I_g}$$3(0.04 - I_g) = 0.8 - I_g$$0.12 - 3I_g = 0.8 - I_g$$0.12 - 0.8 = 3I_g - I_g$$-0.68 = 2I_g$$I_g = -0.34 \,A$. Wait, re-evaluating the input values: The provided solution image suggests $I_2 = 0.08 \,A$. If $I_2 = 0.08 \,A$, then $3 = \frac{0.08 - I_g}{0.04 - I_g} \implies 0.12 - 3I_g = 0.08 - I_g \implies 0.04 = 2I_g \implies I_g = 0.02 \,A$. Thus, the correct maximum current $I_g$ is $0.02 \,A$.
