AIPMT PRELIMS 2012 Physics Conversion of Galvanometer MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A milli voltmeter of 25 milli volt range is to be converted into an ammeter of 25 ampere range. The value (in Ω) of necessary shunt will be

A

0.05

B

0.001

C

0.01

D

1

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula for shunt resistance, R = (iₘRₑ)/(i - iₘ), where iₘ is the current through the meter and Rₑ is the meter resistance. Solving gives R = 0.001 Ω.
