The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer of resistance $45 \Omega$ falls from $30$ divisions to $3$ divisions. The length of the shunt wire required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter is [specific resistance of the material of the shunt wire $= 5 \times 10^{-7} \Omega m$ and area of cross-section of the wire $= 4 \times 10^{-7} m^2$]. (in $m$)
$A$ multirange current meter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in the figure. We want a current meter that can measure $10 \text{ mA}$,$100 \text{ mA}$,and $1 \text{ A}$ using a galvanometer of resistance $10 \text{ } \Omega$ that produces maximum deflection for a current of $1 \text{ mA}$. Find the values of $S_1, S_2$,and $S_3$ that have to be used.

View Solution$A$ galvanometer of resistance $30 \Omega$ is connected to a battery of emf $2 \text{ V}$ with $1970 \Omega$ resistance in series. $A$ full-scale deflection of $20$ divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. To reduce the deflection to $10$ divisions,the total resistance in series required is: (in $\Omega$)
An ammeter of $100 \, \Omega$ resistance gives full-scale deflection for a current of $10^{-5} \, A$. The shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of $1 \, A$ range will be:
