NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
If a galvanometer with an internal resistance of 50 Ω is converted to an ammeter using a shunt resistance of 1 Ω, what is the ratio of the current through the shunt to the current through the galvanometer?
A
1:50
B
50:1
C
51:1
D
1:51
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The current through the shunt is large due to its low resistance compared to the galvanometer. The ratio is determined by the inverse ratio of the resistances, which is 50:1.
