Question
A galvanometer has a resistance of 16Ω. It shows full scale deflection, when a current of 20 mA is passed through it. The only shunt resistance available is 0.06 which is not appropriate to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter. How much resistance should be connected in series with the coil of galvanometer, so that the range of ammeter is 8 A?
Solution
G = 16Ω, Ig = 20 mA, I = 8A, S = ?
A resistance of ≈ 0.04 Ω should be connected in series with the coil of the galvanometer.
Is there an error in this question or solution?
