$A$ galvanometer has a resistance of $25 \, \Omega$ and a maximum of $0.01 \, A$ current can be passed through it. In order to change it into an ammeter of range $10 \, A$, the shunt resistance required is

  • A
    $5/999 \, \Omega$
  • B
    $10/999 \, \Omega$
  • C
    $20/999 \, \Omega$
  • D
    $25/999 \, \Omega$

The resistance of a galvanometer is $25\,\Omega$ and it requires $50\,\mu A$ for full-scale deflection. The value of the shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of $5\,A$ range is:

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?

Consider a moving coil galvanometer $(MCG)$ :
$A :$ The torsional constant in a moving coil galvanometer has dimensions $[ML^2 T^{-2}]$.
$B :$ Increasing the current sensitivity may not necessarily increase the voltage sensitivity.
$C :$ If we increase the number of turns $(N)$ to its double $(2N)$,then the voltage sensitivity doubles.
$D :$ $MCG$ can be converted into an ammeter by introducing a shunt resistance of a large value in parallel with the galvanometer.
$E :$ Current sensitivity of $MCG$ depends inversely on the number of turns of the coil.
