The ratio of heats generated through shunt and galvanometer is $7: 5$ when they are connected to make an ammeter. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $112 \Omega$,then the resistance of the shunt is: (in $\Omega$)

  • A
    $80$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $15.6$
  • D
    $1.56$

When a shunt of $4\,\Omega$ is connected to a galvanometer,the deflection reduces to $1/5$ of its initial value. If an additional shunt of $2\,\Omega$ is connected in parallel,what will be the new deflection?

To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter,one needs to connect a

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance of $990 \,\Omega$. It shows a full-scale deflection for a current of $10 \,mA$. Calculate the value of the shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of range $1 \,A$.

The number of turns in a coil of a galvanometer is tripled. Then:
