A circuit contains an ammeter, a battery of 30 v and a resistance 40.8 ohm all connected in series. If the ammeter has coil of resistance 480 ohm and a shunt of 20 ohm, the reading in the ammeter will be:
Options
- A0.25 A
- B2 A
- C1 A
- D0.5 A
Correct answer
D. 0.5 A
Step-by-step solution
Resistance of ammeter = 480 × 20 480 + 20 = 19.2 Ω i = 30 40.8 + 19.2 = 0.5   A
