NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12
Consider a diagram showing a galvanometer (G) converted to an ammeter with a shunt resistance r_s in parallel. Which component in the diagram ensures that the device can measure higher currents without damaging the galvanometer?
A
Shunt resistance r_s
B
Galvanometer coil
C
Series resistor
D
Battery
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The shunt resistance r_s, when placed in parallel with the galvanometer, allows most of the current to bypass the galvanometer, enabling it to measure higher currents without damage.
