EasyThis question has Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$I$: Higher the range,greater is the resistance of an ammeter.
Statement-$II$: To increase the range of an ammeter,an additional shunt needs to be used across it.
Statement-$I$: Higher the range,greater is the resistance of an ammeter.
Statement-$II$: To increase the range of an ammeter,an additional shunt needs to be used across it.

View Solution$A$ moving coil galvanometer,when shunted with a $2\text{ }\Omega$ resistance,gives a full-scale deflection for a current of $500\text{ mA}$. When a resistance of $470\text{ }\Omega$ is connected in series,it gives a full-scale deflection for a potential of $10\text{ V}$ applied across it. The value of the resistance of the galvanometer coil is . . . . . . $\Omega$.
