What shunt resistance is required to convert the 1.0 mA, `20Omega` galvanometer into an ammeter with a range of 0 to 50 mA ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`S=20/49=0.408Omega`
`i_(g)R_(g)=(i-i_(g))S`
`i_(g)=1.0xx10^(-3)A, G=20Omega`
`i=50xx10^(-3)A`
`S=(i_(g)R_(g))/(i-V_(g))=(1xx10^(-3)xx20)/(49xx10^(-3))=0.408Omega`
