A galvanometer of resistance 40 gives a deflection of 10 divisions per mA . There are 50 divisions on the scale. Maximum current that can pass through it when a shunt resistance of 2 is connected is
Options
- A105 ~mA
- B155 ~mA
- C210 ~mA
- D75 ~mA
Correct answer
A. 105 ~mA
Step-by-step solution
Given, galvanometer resistance, R_G=40 Shunt resistance, R_ =2 Reading =10 div / mA and number of divisions, n=50 Galvanometer current, I_G= 50 10 =5 ~mA Let shunt current be I . array ll Since, I R_G+R_ & = I_G R_ I & = 5 (40+2) 2 & =105 ~mA array
