Class 12PhysicsMoving Charges and MagnetismThe Moving Coil Galvanometer (Sensitivity) and Ammeter and Voltmeter Conversion
Medium$A$ galvanometer of resistance $36 \ \Omega$ is converted into an ammeter by using a shunt of $4 \ \Omega$. The fraction $f_0$ of the total current passing through the galvanometer is:
- A$\frac{1}{40}$
- B$\frac{1}{4}$
- C$\frac{1}{140}$
- D$\frac{1}{10}$
