In a galvanometer, there is deflection of 5 divisions per μA current. The resistance of galvanometers is 40 ohm. If shunt of 2 ohm is connected and if there are 50 divisions all over the scale of galvanometer, then the maximum current that can be measured by it is

Detailed Solution
s=Gn-1 where G is the galvanometer resistance and n is the amplification factor2=40n-1; n=21 before connecting shunt it measures a current of 50 × 15= 10 μA now it measures 21 × 10= 210 μA= 0 . 21 mA
