The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the equivalent resistance when a galvanometer is converted to an ammeter using a shunt resistance, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Resistance of the galvanometer, \( R_g = 70 \, \Omega \) - Shunt resistance, \( r_s = 0.03 \, \Omega \) 2. **Understand the Configuration:** - The galvanometer and the shunt resistance are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance \( R \) can be calculated using the formula for resistors in parallel: \[ \frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_g} + \frac{1}{r_s} \] 3. **Substituting the Values:** - Plugging in the values of \( R_g \) and \( r_s \) into the formula: \[ \frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{70} + \frac{1}{0.03} \] 4. **Calculating Each Term:** - Calculate \( \frac{1}{70} \): \[ \frac{1}{70} \approx 0.0142857 \] - Calculate \( \frac{1}{0.03} \): \[ \frac{1}{0.03} \approx 33.3333 \] 5. **Adding the Terms:** - Now, add the two fractions: \[ \frac{1}{R} = 0.0142857 + 33.3333 \approx 33.3476 \] 6. **Finding the Equivalent Resistance:** - Now, take the reciprocal to find \( R \): \[ R \approx \frac{1}{33.3476} \approx 0.02998 \, \Omega \] 7. **Rounding the Result:** - Rounding \( 0.02998 \) gives approximately \( 0.03 \, \Omega \). ### Final Answer: The equivalent resistance when the galvanometer is converted to an ammeter is approximately \( 0.03 \, \Omega \). ---
