To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter,a shunt of $0.01\,\Omega$ is used. The resistance of the galvanometer coil is $50\,\Omega$ and its maximum deflection current is $20\,mA$. The range of the ammeter is:

  • A
    $0-1\,A$
  • B
    $0-10\,A$
  • C
    $0-100\,A$
  • D
    $0-1000\,A$

$A$ milliammeter of range $10\, mA$ and resistance $9\, \Omega$ is joined in a circuit as shown. The meter gives full-scale deflection for current $I$ when $A$ and $B$ are used as its terminals,i.e.,current enters at $A$ and leaves at $B$ ($C$ is left isolated). The value of $I$ is

$A$ moving coil galvanometer, when shunted with a $2\text{ }\Omega$ resistance, gives a full-scale deflection for a current of $500\text{ mA}$.
