Class 12PhysicsMoving Charges and MagnetismThe Moving Coil Galvanometer (Sensitivity) and Ammeter and Voltmeter Conversion
Easy$A$ galvanometer having internal resistance $10 \Omega$ requires $0.01 \ A$ for a full scale deflection. To convert this galvanometer to a voltmeter of full-scale deflection at $120 \ V$, we need to connect a resistance of
- A$11990 \ \Omega$ in series
- B$11990 \ \Omega$ in parallel
- C$12010 \ \Omega$ in series
- D$12010 \ \Omega$ in parallel

An ammeter, suspected to give inaccurate reading, is connected in series with a silver voltameter. The ammeter indicates $0.54\, A$. A steady current passed for one hour deposits $2.0124\, g$ of silver. If the $E.C.E.$ of silver is $1.118 \times 10^{-3}\, g\, C^{-1}$, then the error in ammeter reading is ................ $A$.

View SolutionThis question has Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$I$: Higher the range,greater is the resistance of an ammeter.
Statement-$II$: To increase the range of an ammeter,an additional shunt needs to be used across it.
Statement-$I$: Higher the range,greater is the resistance of an ammeter.
Statement-$II$: To increase the range of an ammeter,an additional shunt needs to be used across it.
$A$ galvanometer has a resistance of $80 \Omega$ and it is shunted with a resistance of $20 \Omega$. If $20 \%$ of the main current flows through the galvanometer, what is the value of the main current (in $\text{ A}$)?
