    A galvanometer coil has a resistance of 10 \[\Omega \]and the ammeter shows full scale deflection for a current of 1mA. The shunt resistance required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter of range 0-100mA is about

    A)  10\[\Omega \]  

    B)  1\[\Omega \]  

    C)  0.1\[\Omega \]

    D)  12.48\[\Omega \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Resistance of galvanometer coil, \[R=10\,\,\Omega \] Current \[=1\,\,\,mA\] Range of current: \[0-100\,\,mA\] So, the shunt resistance is \[S=\frac{{{I}_{g}}R}{I-{{I}_{g}}}\] \[=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 10}{100\times {{10}^{-3}}-1\times {{10}^{-3}}}\] \[=\frac{10}{99}=0.10\,\Omega \]
