A galvanometer, with a scale divided into 150150 equal divisions, has current sensitivity of 1010 divisions per milliampere and voltage sensitivity of 22 divisions per millivolt. Find shunt resistance for making an ammeter of 6A6A.

Options

  1. A1.25×10–3Ω1.25 \times {10}^{– 3}Ω
  2. B12.5×10–3Ω12.5 \times {10}^{– 3}Ω
  3. C125×10–3Ω125 \times {10}^{– 3}Ω
  4. D0.125×10–3Ω0.125 \times {10}^{– 3}Ω

Correct answer

B. 12.5×10–3Ω12.5 \times {10}^{– 3}Ω

Step-by-step solution

\leftIg=15mAVg=75mVI=6A\begin{array}{ll}{I}_{g} = 15mA \\ {V}_{g} = 75mV \\ I = 6A\end{array}\right\} ⇒ {R}_{g} = \dfrac{Vg}{Ig} = 5Ω$
S = \dfrac{{I}_{g}{R}_{g}}{I – {I}_{g}} = 12.5 \times {10}^{– 3}Ω
