If only $2 \%$ of the main current is to be passed through a galvanometer of resistance $G$,then the resistance of the shunt connected to it will be:

  • A
    $G / 50$
  • B
    $50 \ G$
  • C
    $49 \ G$
  • D
    $G / 49$

View Solution

$A$ microammeter has a resistance of $100\,\Omega$ and a full-scale range of $50\,\mu A$. It can be used as a voltmeter or as a higher-range ammeter provided a resistance is added to it. Pick the correct range and resistance combination.
