NEET2007PhysicsCurrent ElectricityActual
The resistance of an ammeter is 13 and its scale is graduated for a current upto 100 amps. After an additional shunt has been connected to this ammeter it becomes possible to measure currents upto 750 amperes by this meter. The value of shunt-resistance is:
Options
- A2
- B0.2
- C2 k
- D20
Correct answer
A. 2
Step-by-step solution
Let the shunt resistance be S. ( aligned & Given: I=750 ~A , & I_g=100 ~A , R_G=13 & From the figure, & I_g R_G= (I-I_g ) S & or 100 13=[750-100] S & or 1300=650 ~S & S=1300 / 650=2 . aligned )
