If range of an ammeter with resistance 5...

If range of an ammeter with resistance `5Omega` is to be made double then _______

A

`5Omega` resistance should be connected in parallel to it.

B

`5Omega` resistance should be connected in series to it.

C

`2.5 Omega` resistance should be connected in parallel to it.

D

`10Omega` resistance should be connected in parallel to it.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We have `S=G/(n-1)=5/(2-1)=5Omega`
`rArr5Omega` resistance should be connected in parallel to a given current meter.
