To determine the shunt resistance required to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Current through the galvanometer, \( I_g = 1.00 \, \text{mA} = 1.00 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A} \) - Resistance of the galvanometer, \( R_g = 20 \, \Omega \) - Total current to be measured, \( I = 50.0 \, \text{A} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the current through the shunt resistor ...
