The senstivity of a milliammeter of rang...

The senstivity of a milliammeter of range `0 ` to 100 mA is x div/milliampere. If it is conveeted into an ammeter of ranger 0 to1a, by using a suitable shunt, then the senstivity will be

A

`(x)/(2)` div/Ma

B

10x div/Ma

C

`(x)/(10)` div/mA

D

5x div/mA

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Current is increased 10 times. `therefore` For the same scale, the senstivity will be x/10div/mA
