The net resistance of a volmeter should be large to ensure that

The resistance of an ideal ammeter is

Assertion : Resistance of an ammeter is less than the resistance of a milliammeter. Reason : Value of shunt required in case of ammeter is more than a milliammeter.

The resistance of an ammeter is 13 Omega and its scale is graduated for a current upto 100 A . After an additional shunt has been connected to this ammeter it becomes possible to measure currents upto 750 A by this meter. The value of shunt resistance is

Should the resistance of an ammeter be low or high ? Give reason.

An ammeter of resistance 1 Ohm can measure current upto 1.0 A. (i) What must be the value of the shunt resistance to enable the ammeter to measure upto 5.0 A? (ii) What is the combined resistance of the ammeter and the shunt?

Assertion : In the circuit shown in figure ammeter and voltmeter are non-ideal when positions of ammeter and voltmeter are changed, reading of ammeter will increase while of voltmeter will decrease. Reason : Resistance of an ideal ammeter is zero while that of an ideal voltmeter is infinite.

A constant voltage V_(0) is applied to a potentiometer of resistance R connected to an ammeter. A constant resistor r is connected to the sliding contact of the potentiometer and the fixed end of the potentiometer. If the reading of ammeter vary as the sliding contact is moved from one end of the potentiometer to the other. The resistance of ammeter is assumed to be negligible. Find the minimum reading of the Ammeter.
