Questions  

A galvanometer of resistance 30 ohm is converted into an ammeter of range 2.8 A by connecting a shunt resistance 12 ohm to the galvanometer. What can be the range of ammeter if a resistance 6 ohm is connected in parallel to the shunt 12 ohm?

a
3.6 A
b
4.8 A
c
5.2 A
d
6.8 A

detailed solution

Correct option is D

IIg=S+GS⇒I1I2=S1+GS2+G×S2S1S1=12 Ω and S2=12×612+6=4Ω2.8I2=4234×412I2=6.8 A
