  • A
    $\frac{1}{n-1}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{n}$
  • C

$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter, reading up to $0.04 \,A$ by connecting a shunt of resistance '$3r$' across it and then into an ammeter reading up to $0.8 \,A$, when a shunt of resistance '$r$' is connected across it. What is the maximum current which can be sent through this galvanometer if no shunt is used (in $\,A$)?

In an ammeter,$4 \%$ of the main current is passing through the galvanometer. If the shunt resistance is $5 \Omega$,then the resistance of the galvanometer will be: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance of $12\; \Omega$ and the meter shows full-scale deflection for a current of $3\; mA$. How will you convert the meter into a voltmeter of range $0$ to $18\; V$?

$A$ circuit contains an ammeter,a battery of $30\,V$ and a resistance of $40.8\,\Omega$ all connected in series. If the ammeter has a coil of resistance $480\,\Omega$ and a shunt of $20\,\Omega$,the reading in the ammeter will be .................. $A$.
