$A$ galvanometer has a resistance of $20\,\Omega$ and reads full-scale when $0.2\,V$ is applied across it. To convert it into a $10\,A$ ammeter,the galvanometer coil should have a

  • A
    $0.01\,\Omega$ resistor connected across it
  • B
    $0.02\,\Omega$ resistor connected across it
  • C
    $200\,\Omega$ resistor connected in series with it
  • D
    $2000\,\Omega$ resistor connected in series with it

In an experiment to determine the figure of merit of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a student constructed the following circuit. He unplugged a resistance of $5200 \ \Omega$ in $R$. When $K_1$ is closed and $K_2$ is open,the deflection observed in the galvanometer is $26 \ \text{div}$. When $K_2$ is also closed and a resistance of $90 \ \Omega$ is removed in $S$,the deflection becomes $13 \ \text{div}$. The resistance of the galvanometer is nearly: (in $Omega$)

$A$ 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 $A$)?

What is the value of shunt resistance required to convert a galvanometer of resistance $ 100 \Omega $ into an ammeter of range $ 1 \text{ A} $? Given: Full scale deflection of the galvanometer is $ 5 \text{ mA} $.

In a circuit,$5$ percent of the total current passes through a galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$,then the value of the shunt is:

$A$ galvanometer $G$ deflects full scale when a potential difference of $0.50 \ V$ is applied. The internal resistance of the galvanometer $r_g$ is $25 \ \Omega$. An ammeter is constructed by incorporating the galvanometer and an additional shunt resistance $R_S$. The ammeter deflects full scale when a measurement of $2.0 \ A$ is made. The resistance $R_S$ is closest to : ................. $\Omega$
