Which one of the two, an ammeter or a milliammeter, has a higher resistance and why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which one of the two, an ammeter or a milliammeter, has a higher resistance, we can analyze the relationship between their designs and the shunt resistances used in each. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Devices**: - An **ammeter** is used to measure larger currents, typically in the range of amperes. - A **milliammeter** is designed to measure smaller currents, typically in the range of milliamperes (1 mA = 0.001 A). ...

If ammeter has zero resistance then –

Statement I : If galvanometer is converted into an ammeter and milliammeter then the shunt resistance of ammeter is lower than that of milliammeter. Statement II : The shunt resistance must allow more current to pass through in case of ammeter than that of milliammeter

A ammeter should have small resistance. Why?

Which one has higher diversity

Of the two identical galvanometers one is to be converted into an ammeter and another into a milliammeter. Which of the shunts will be of larger resistance?

A milliammeter of range of 10 mA gives full-scale deflection for a current of 100 mA , when a shunt of 0.1 Omega is connected in parallel to it. The coil of the milliammeter has a resistance of.
