To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter, we need to add a shunt resistor in parallel with the galvanometer. Here’s how to solve the problem step-by-step: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Resistance of the galvanometer (G) = 15 Ω - Full scale deflection current of the galvanometer (i) = 4 mA = 4 × 10^(-3) A - Maximum current for the ammeter (I) = 6 A ### Step 2: Use the formula for shunt resistance ...
