In a circuit, 5 percent of total current passes through a galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is G then the value of the shunt is :
⇒
⇒
A voltmeter has a range 0-V with a series resistance R. With a series resistance 2R, the range is 0-V'. The correct relation between V and V' is :
For conversion of galvanometer (of resistances) into voltmeter, a resistance R is connected in series.
∴ and
⇒ ⇒
⇒ ⇒
If an ammeter is to be used in place of a voltmeter then we must connect with the ammeter a :
If ammeter is used in place of voltmeter (i.e. in parallel) it may damage due to large current in circuit. Hence to control this large amount of current a high resistance must be connected in series.
A galvanometer of resistance 36 Ω is changed into an ammeter by using a shunt of 4 Ω. The fraction f0 of total current passing through the galvanometer is :
A galvanometer, having a resistance of 50 Ω gives a full scale deflection for a current of 0.05 A. The length in meter of a resistance wire of area of cross-section 2.97× 10–2 cm2 that can be used to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter which can read a maximum of 5 A current is (Specific resistance of the wire = 5 × 10–7 Ωm)
⇒ ⇒ .
An ammeter reads up to 1 ampere. Its internal resistance is 0.81 ohm. To increase the range to 10 A the value of the required shunt is :
⇒ .
A moving coil galvanometer of resistance 100Ω is used as an ammeter using a resistance 0.1Ω. The maximum deflection current in the galvanometer is 100 mA. Find the minimum current in the circuit so that the ammeter shows maximum deflection :
⇒ I =
⇒ I = 100.1 mA
A moving coil galvanometer has 150 equal divisions. Its current sensitivity is 10 divisions per milliampere and voltage sensitivity is 2 divisions per millivolt. In order that each division reads 1 volt, the resistance in ohms needed to be connected in series with the coil will be
Voltage sensitivity
⇒ .
Here Full scale deflection current .
V = Voltage to be measured = 150 × 1 = 150 V.
Hence .
The electric charge in uniform motion produces :
A movable charge produces electric field and magnetic field both.
