To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter that can measure up to 5 A, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given values - Full scale deflection current of the galvanometer, \( I_g = 1 \, \text{mA} = 0.001 \, \text{A} \) - Resistance of the galvanometer, \( R_g = 100 \, \Omega \) - Desired maximum current for the ammeter, \( I = 5 \, \text{A} \) ### Step 2: Determine the shunt resistance needed ...
