In the conversion of a moving coil galvanometer into an ammeter of a required range,what is the resistance of the ammeter so formed? [$S$ = shunt resistance and $G$ = resistance of the galvanometer]

  • A
    $\frac{S+G}{SG}$
  • B
    $\frac{SG}{S-G}$
  • C

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has $50$ turns and each turn has an area $2 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$. The magnetic field produced by the magnet inside the galvanometer is $0.02 \ T$. The torsional constant of the suspension wire is $10^{-4} \ N \ m \ rad^{-1}$. When a current flows through the galvanometer,a full-scale deflection occurs if the coil rotates by $0.2 \ rad$. The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer is $50 \ \Omega$. This galvanometer is to be converted into an ammeter capable of measuring current in the range $0-1.0 \ A$. For this purpose,a shunt resistance is to be added in parallel to the galvanometer. The value of this shunt resistance,in ohms,is:

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $50 \Omega$ is connected to a battery of $3 \text{ V}$ along with a resistance of $2950 \Omega$ in series,showing a full-scale deflection of $30$ divisions. The additional series resistance required to reduce the deflection to $20$ divisions is: (in $Omega$)

The phosphor bronze strip is used in a moving coil galvanometer because

If only $5 \%$ of the total current is to be passed through a galvanometer of resistance $G$,then the resistance of the shunt will be

$A$ galvanometer coil of resistance $50 \,\Omega$ shows full-scale deflection for a current of $100 \,\mu A$. The shunt resistance to be added to the galvanometer to convert it into an ammeter of range $10 \, mA$ is:
