NEET Physics Conversion of Instruments MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

The range of voltmeter of resistance 300 Ω\Omega is 5 V. The resistance to be connected to convert it into an ammeter of range 5 Å is

A

1 Ω\Omega in series

B

1 Ω\Omega in parallel

C

0.1 Ω\Omega in series

D

0.1 Ω\Omega in parallel

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

To convert a voltmeter to an ammeter, a shunt resistance is used. The shunt resistance Rs=VIRv=55300=0.1ΩR_s = \frac{V}{I} - R_v = \frac{5}{5} - 300 = 0.1 \Omega in parallel.
