A moving coil galvnometer is converted into an ammeter reading up to `0.03 A` by connecting a shunt of resistance `r/4`. What is the maximum current which can be sent through this galvanometer if no shunt is used (here r=resistance of galvanometer)

A

`0.004A`

B

`0.005A`

C

`0.006A`

D

`0.008A`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


In parallel current distributes in inverse ratio of resistance.
`(0.03-I_G)/I_G=G/S=r/((r//4))=4`
Solving this equation , we get
`I_G=0.006A`
