The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the shunt resistance required to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter with a specified range. Here are the steps to arrive at the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the given values - Resistance of the galvanometer (Rg) = 100 Ω - Full-scale deflection current of the galvanometer (Ig) = \(10^{-5}\) A - Desired range of the ammeter (I) = 1 A ### Step 2: Use the formula for shunt resistance The formula to calculate the shunt resistance (S) required to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter is given by: \[ S = \frac{I_g \cdot R_g}{I - I_g} \] Where: - \(I_g\) is the full-scale deflection current of the galvanometer, - \(R_g\) is the resistance of the galvanometer, - \(I\) is the total current through the ammeter. ### Step 3: Substitute the known values into the formula Substituting the values we have: \[ S = \frac{(10^{-5} \, \text{A}) \cdot (100 \, \Omega)}{1 \, \text{A} - 10^{-5} \, \text{A}} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Calculating the numerator: \[ (10^{-5} \, \text{A}) \cdot (100 \, \Omega) = 10^{-3} \, \text{V} \] Now, calculating the denominator: \[ 1 \, \text{A} - 10^{-5} \, \text{A} \approx 1 \, \text{A} \quad (\text{since } 10^{-5} \text{ is very small compared to } 1) \] ### Step 5: Calculate the shunt resistance Now, substituting back into the formula: \[ S = \frac{10^{-3} \, \text{V}}{1 \, \text{A}} = 10^{-3} \, \Omega \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the shunt required is: \[ S = 10^{-3} \, \Omega \]
