An ammeter gives full deflection when a current of 2 A flows through it. The resistance of ammeter is 12  Ω If the same ammeter is to be used for measuring a maximum current of 5 A, then the ammeter must be connected with a resistance of

a
8  Ω in series
b
18  Ω in series
c
8  Ω in parallel
d
18  Ω in parallel

detailed solution

Correct option is C

iig =1  +  GS  ⇒  52 =1  =12S ⇒ S=8 Ω  In  parallel

A moving coil galvanometer converted into an ammeter reads up to 0.03 A by connecting a shunt of resistance 4r across it and ammeter reads up to 0.06 A, when a shunt of resistance r is used. What is the maximum current which can be sent through this galvanometer if no shunt is used?
