उत्तर
Resistance of the galvanometer coil, G = 15 Ω
Current for which the galvanometer shows full scale deflection, Ig = 4 mA = 4 × 10−3 A
Range of the ammeter is 0, which needs to be converted to 6 A.
∴ Current, I = 6 A
A shunt resistor of resistance S is to be connected in parallel with the galvanometer to convert it into an ammeter. The value of S is given as:
S = `("I"_"g""G")/("I" - "I"_"g")`
= `(4 xx 10^-3 xx 15)/(6 - 4 xx 10^-3)`
S = `(6 xx 10^-2)/(6 - 0.004)`
= `0.06/5.996`
≈ 0.01 Ω = 10 mΩ
Hence, a 10 mΩ shunt resistor is to be connected in parallel with the galvanometer.

A multirange voltmeter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in figure. We want to construct a voltmeter that can measure 2V, 20V and 200V using a galvanometer of resistance 10Ω and that produces maximum deflection for current of 1 mA. Find R1, R2 and R3 that have to be used.

A voltmeter of variable ranges 3 V, 15 V, 150 V is to be designed by connecting resistances R1, R2, R3 in series with a galvanometer of resistance G = 20 Ω, as shown in Fig. The galvanometer gives full pass through its coil for 1 mA current i.e. "gives full pass through it's coil for 1 mA current". Then, the resistances R1, R2 and R3 (in kilo ohms) should be, respectively:
