A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by connecting

A moving coil galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter by connecting :

STATEMENT-1 : Galvanometer can be converted into voltmeter by connecting a large shunt in its series. STATEMENT-2 : Galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by connecting a small shunt in its parallel. STATEMENT-3 : Galvanometer cannot be converted into voltmeter or ammeter.

A galvanometer (coil resistance 99 Omega .) is converted into an ammeter using a shunt of 1 Omega and connected as shown in figure (a). The ammeter reads 3 A . The same galvanometer is convened into a voltmeter by connecting a resistance of 101 Omega in series. This voltmeter is connected at, shown in figure (b). Its reading is found to be 4/5 of the full scale reading. Find : (a) internal resistance r of the cell (b) range of the ammeter and voltmeter (c) full scale deflection current of the galvanometer.

A galvanometer coil has a resistance of 50 Omega and the meter shows full scale deflection for a current of 5 mA . This galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter of range 0 - 20 V by connecting

(A) : A galvanometer can be used as an ammeter and Voltmeter. (R) : A galvanometer cannot be used in electric circuit to detect the direction of electric current.

To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter, one should connect a

A galvanometer of resistance 50Omega is converted into an ammeter by connecting a low resistance (shunt) of value 1Omega in parallel to the galvanometer, S. If full - scale deflection current of the galvanometer is 10 mA, then the maximum current that can be measured by the ammeter is -

Tangent galvanometer is used to measure

A galvanometer has 30 divisions and a sensitivity 16 mu A //"div" . It can be converted into a voltmeter to read 3 V by connecting
