A galvanometer has a resistance of 25  Ω and a maximum of 0.01 A current can be passed through it. In order to change it into an ammeter of range 10 A, the shunt resistance required is

a
5/999  Ω
b
10/999  Ω
c
20/999  Ω
d
25/999  Ω

detailed solution

Correct option is D

ig=i  SG+S  ⇒  0.01=10 S25+S⇒   1000  S=25+S  ⇒  S=25999 Ω

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?
