NEET Physics Galvanometer as Ammeter MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A galvanometer of resistance 100 Ω gives full scale deflection for a current of 1.0 mA. It is converted into an ammeter of range 0-1 Å. The resistance of the ammeter will be close to

A

0.1 Ω

B

0.8 Ω

C

0 Ω

D

10 Ω

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

To convert the galvanometer to an ammeter, a shunt resistor is used. The shunt resistance is calculated using the formula R_shunt = (I_g * R_g) / (I - I_g).
