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 ................ $A$.

  • A
    $+ 0.04$
  • B
    $+ 0.02$
  • C
    $- 0.03$
  • D
    $- 0.01$

An ammeter has a range of $1 \ A$ without a shunt. The range of the ammeter can be changed by using different shunt resistances. What is the nature of the graph between the shunt resistance and the range?

In a circuit for finding the resistance of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a $6\,V$ battery and a high resistance of $11\,k\Omega$ are used. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is $60\,\mu A/\text{division}$. In the absence of shunt resistance,the galvanometer produces a deflection of $\theta = 9$ divisions when current flows in the circuit. The value of the shunt resistance that can cause the deflection of $\theta/2$ is closest to .................. $\Omega$.

The sensitivity of a galvanometer is $60 \text{ division/A}$. When a shunt is used,its sensitivity becomes $10 \text{ division/A}$. If the galvanometer is of resistance $20 \ \Omega$,the value of shunt used is (in $\Omega$)

An ammeter has a range of $1 \, A$ without a shunt. The range can be varied by using different shunt resistances. The graph between shunt resistance $(S)$ and range $(I)$ will have the nature of which curve shown in the figure?
