The resistance of an ammeter is 13 Omega...

The resistance of an ammeter is `13 Omega` and its scale is graduated for a current upto `100 A`. After an additional shunt has been connected to this ammeter it becomes possible to measure currents upto `750 A` by this meter. The value of shunt resistance is

A

`2 Omega`

B

`0.2 Omega`

C

`2 k Omega`

D

`20 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

We know
`(I)/( I_(S))= 1+ (G)/( S) rArr (750)/( 100) = 1 + (13)/(S) rArr S =2 Omega`
