The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is increased by $25 \%$. This increase is achieved only by changing the number of turns of the coils and the area of the cross-section of the wire while keeping the resistance of the galvanometer coil constant. The percentage change in the voltage sensitivity will be $...........\%$

  • A
    $+25$
  • B
    $-50$
  • C
    $0$

What is the value of shunt resistance required to convert a galvanometer of resistance $ 100 \Omega $ into an ammeter of range $ 1 \text{ A} $? Given: Full scale deflection of the galvanometer is $ 5 \text{ mA} $.

Only $4 \%$ of the total current in the circuit passes through a galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$,then the shunt resistance connected to the galvanometer is:

$A$ $50\, \Omega$ galvanometer gets full-scale deflection when a current of $0.01\, A$ passes through the coil. When it is converted to a $10\, A$ ammeter,the shunt resistance is ........... $\Omega$.

In the circuit (Figure) the current is to be measured. What is the value of the current if the ammeter shown:
$(a)$ is a galvanometer with a resistance $R_{G}=60.00 \; \Omega$;
$(b)$ is a galvanometer described in $(a)$ but converted to an ammeter by a shunt resistance $r_{s}=0.02 \; \Omega$;
$(c)$ is an ideal ammeter with zero resistance?
