The resistance of a galvanometer is $50\,\Omega$ and it requires $2\,\mu A$ per two division deflection. The value of the shunt required in order to convert this galvanometer into an ammeter of range $5\,A$ is (The number of divisions on the galvanometer scale on one side is $30$).

  • A
    $0.2\,\Omega$
  • B
    $0.002\,\Omega$
  • C
    $3 \times 10^{-4}\,\Omega$
  • D
    $4 \times 10^{-6}\,\Omega$

$A$ galvanometer of $100\,\Omega$ resistance gives full-scale deflection when $10\,mA$ of current is passed. To convert it into a $10\,A$ range ammeter,the resistance of the shunt required will be ............... $\Omega$.

What is a galvanometer? Give its applications.

$A$ 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.
