In a given ammeter, a student sees that needle indicates `17` divisions in ammeter while performing an experiment to verify Ohm's law. If ammeter has `10` divisions between `0 and 0.5 A`, then what is the value of `17` divisions ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the ammeter has `10` divisions between `0` to and `0.5 A`, 1 division `= (0.5 A)/(10) = 0.05 A`
Therefore,17 divisions `= 17(0.05 A) = 0.85 A`.
