An ammeter is used to measure……..

An ammeter is obtained by shunting a 30 Omega galvanometer with a 30 Omega resistance. What additional shunt should be connected across it to double the range ?

A 200 turn rectangular coil measuring 0.02 m xx 0.08 m of an ammeter is in a magnetic field of induction 0.2 tesla. The torsional constant of the suspension fibre is 5 xx 10^(-7) newton xx metre/degree. The maximum reading of the ammeter corresponds to a deflection of the coil through 45^(@) . If the magnetic field is radial, then the maximum current that can be measured with this ammeter is

An ammeter gives full deflection when a current of 2 amp . Flows through it. The resistance of ammeter is 12 ohms . If the same ammeter is to be used for measuring a maximum current of 5 amp , then the ammeter must be connected with a resistance of

An ammeter should have very low resistance, so that it may

A galvanometer may be converted into an ammeter or a voltmeter. In which of the following cases is the resistance of the device so obtained least ?

An ammeter and a voltmeter are j oined in series to a cell. Their readings are A and V respectively. If a resistance is now joined in parallel with the voltmeter

A voltmeter of range 3V and resistance 200Omega cannot be converted to an ammeter of range

A galvanometer has a resistance of 16Omega . It shows full scale deflection when a current of 20mA is passed through it. The only shunt resistance available is 0.06W which is not appropriate to convert galvanometer into ammeters. How much resistance should be connected in series with the coil of galvanometer so that the range of ammeter is 8A?
