$A$ galvanometer of $10 \,\Omega$ resistance gives full scale deflection with $0.01 \, A$ of current. It is to be converted into an ammeter for measuring $10 \, A$ current. The value of shunt resistance required will be

  • A
    $\frac{10}{999} \,\Omega$
  • B
    $0.1 \,\Omega$
  • C
    $0.5 \,\Omega$
  • D

What is a galvanometer? Give its applications.

Write the equation for the series resistance required to increase the voltage range of a galvanometer by a factor of $n$.

Moving coil galvanometers $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ have resistance,number of turns,area of coil,and magnetic field as follows:
$R_{1}=10 \Omega, R_{2}=14 \Omega, N_{1}=30, N_{2}=42$
$A_{1}=3.6 \times 10^{-3} \ m^{2}, A_{2}=1.8 \times 10^{-2} \ m^{2}, B_{1}=0.25 \ T, B_{2}=0.50 \ T$
(Spring constants are same for both galvanometers).
The ratio of $(i)$ current sensitivity and (ii) voltage sensitivity for galvanometer ($M_{2}$ to $M_{1}$) is respectively:

An ammeter of $5\,\Omega$ resistance can read $5\,mA$. If it is to be used to read $100\,V$,how much resistance is to be connected in series? (in $\Omega$)
