NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by introducing a shunt resistance in parallel.
Reason (R): The shunt resistance allows most of the current to bypass the galvanometer, protecting it from damage.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Both the assertion and reason are true. The shunt resistance provides an alternate path for the current, allowing the galvanometer to measure larger currents without being damaged.
