  • question_answer
    A galvanometer with its coil resistance \[25\Omega \]requires a current of 1mA for its full deflection. In order to construct an ammeter to read up to a current of 2A, the approximate value of the shunt resistance should be [JEE Main Online 16-4-2018]

    A) \[2.5\times {{10}^{-2}}\Omega \]

    B) \[1.25\times {{10}^{-3}}\Omega \]

    C) \[2.5\times {{10}^{-3}}\Omega \]

    D) \[1.25\times {{10}^{-2}}\Omega \]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Formula:\[S={{G}^{*}}I/(I-Ig)\]
    where S= shunt resistance , (I-Ig)= current through the shunt resistance , I=Current in the circuit.
    Here, galvanometer resistance, G= 25 ohm ; 
    Ig= 0.001 A , I= 2A
    \[s=({{25}^{*}}0.0001)/(2-0.001)\]
    \[=1.25\times {{10}^{-3}}\Omega \]
    A shunt resistance of\[1.25\times {{10}^{-2}}\Omega \]must be connected to make the galvanometer in the range of 0 to 2A
