A galvanometer of resistance 200 Ω gives a full scale deflection for a current of10-3 A. To convert it into an ammeter capable of measuring up to 1 A, what resistance should be connected in parallel with it ?

a
2 x 10-6 Ω
b
2 x10-3Ω
c
2 x10-1Ω
d
2 Ω

detailed solution

Correct option is C

We know that S=igi−igGSubstituting the given values, we getS=10−61−10−6×200or S=0⋅2Ω
