Q.

A galvanometer of resistance 100Ω when connected in series with 400Ω measures a voltage of up to 10 V. The value of resistance required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter to read up to 10 A is x×10-2Ω. The value of x is           [2024]

1 800  
2 2  
3 20  
4 200  

Ans.

For voltmeter, 

ig=10400+100=20×10-3A

for ammeter

For ammeter

Let shunt resistance =S

igR=(i-ig)S

20×10-3×100=10SS=20×10-2Ω
