$A$ 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 $A$)?

  • A
    $5.5$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C
    $0.045$
  • D
    $0.004$

$A$ multirange current meter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in the figure. We want a current meter that can measure $10 \text{ mA}$,$100 \text{ mA}$,and $1 \text{ A}$ using a galvanometer of resistance $10 \text{ } \Omega$ that produces maximum deflection for a current of $1 \text{ mA}$. Find the values of $S_1, S_2$,and $S_3$ that have to be used.

$A$ rectangular coil of effective area $0.05 \ m^2$ is suspended freely in a radial magnetic field of $0.01 \ Wb/m^2$. The torsional constant of the suspension fiber is $5 \times 10^{-9} \ Nm/\text{degree}$. If a current of $300 \ \mu A$ is passed through it,then the angle through which the coil rotates is (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ voltmeter has a resistance of $G \ \Omega$ and a range of $V \ \text{volt}$. The resistance required in series to convert it into a voltmeter of range $nV \ \text{volt}$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ moving coil galvanometer,having a resistance $G$,produces full scale deflection when a current $I_g$ flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into $(i)$ an ammeter of range $0$ to $I_0$ $(I_0 > I_g)$ by connecting a shunt resistance $R_A$ to it and $(ii)$ into a voltmeter of range $0$ to $V$ $(V = GI_0)$ by connecting a series resistance $R_V$ to it.
