JEE Main & Advanced AIEEE Solved Paper-2013

  • question_answer
    This 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 ammeter. Statement − II: To increase the range of ammeter, additional shunt needs to be used across it.     AIEEE Solevd Paper-2013

    A) Statement - I is true, Statements - II is true, Statement - II is the correct explanation of Statements ? I

    B) Statement - I is true, Statement - II is true, Statement - II is not the correct explanation of Statement - I.

    C) Statement - I is true, Statement - II is false.

    D) Statement - I is false, Statement - II is true.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{i}_{1}}=\left( \frac{r}{{{R}_{2}}+r} \right)i;{{i}_{1}}=\]Maximum allowed current through ammeter coil. r = resistance of the shunt. To increase the range i, r has to be reduced so effective resistance of ammeter decreases.
