The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states: "An ammeter is connected in series in the circuit." - This is true because an ammeter is designed to measure the current flowing through a circuit. When connected in series, the same current flows through the ammeter as through the rest of the circuit components. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states: "An ammeter is a high resistance galvanometer." - This statement is false. An ammeter is actually designed to have a low resistance. If it had high resistance, it would impede the flow of current, leading to inaccurate measurements. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. ### Final Answer: - Assertion (A) is true. - Reason (R) is false.

A battery of emf 2 V and internal resistance r is connected in series with a resistor of 10Omega through an ammeter of resistance 2Omega . The ammeter reads 50 mA. Draw the circuit diagram and calculate the value of r.

By mistake, a voltmeter is connected in series and an ammeter is connected in parallel, with a resistance in an electrical circuit. What will happen to the instruments?

An ammeter is connected to measure the current intensity in a circuit with a resistance R. What relative error will be made if connection of the ammeter does not change the current intensity in the circuit? The voltage across the ends of the circuit is kept constant.

(A) : If a galvanometer is converted into an ammeter and a milliammeter then the shunt resistance of ammeter is lower than that of milliammeter. (R) : In Ammeter the current through shunt is less than that of galvonameter as compared to the case of milliammeter.

The reading of ammeter in the circuit is

Why is ammeter connected in series and voltmeter in parallel in the circuit?

When an ammeter of negligible internal resistance is inserted in series with circuit, it reads 1 A . When a voltmeter of very large resistance is connected across R_(1) , it reads 3 V . But when the points A and B are short-circuited by a conducting wire, then the voltmetre measures 10.5 V across the battery. The internal resistance of the battery is equal to
