Solution

A galvanometer of resistance 100 Ω requires 10 µA current for full scale deflection. Now a resistance of 1 Ω is connected to convert it into an ammeter. The minimum current required to obtain full scale deflection is 1.01 mA.

Explanation:

I = `(("G + S")/"S") "I"_"g"`

`= ((100 + 1)/1) xx 10 mu"A"`

= 1010 µA

= 1.01 mA
