Q.

A galvanometer has a coil of resistance 200Ω with a full scale deflection at 20 μA. The value of resistance to be added to use it as an ammeter of range (0-20) mA is             [2024]

1 0.40Ω  
2 0.20Ω  
3 0.50Ω  
4 0.10Ω  

Ans.

(2)   

         G=200 Ω and ig=20 μA

          i=ig(GS+1)

          20×10-3=20×10-6(200S+1)

          200S=999S0.2Ω
