NEET Physics Question (2026) — Solution

Question

A galvanometer of resistance 100\ gives full scale deflection for a current of 1 mA. It is converted into an ammeter of range 0 - 10 A. The shunt required is :

Options

  1. A. 0.01\
  2. B. 0.10\
  3. C. 1.0\
  4. D. 0.001\

Answer

A. 0.01\

Step-by-step solution

Given G = 100\ , I_g = 1 mA = 10^ -3 A , and I = 10 A . The shunt resistance S required to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter is given by: S = I_g G I - I_g Substituting the values: S = 10^ -3 100 10 - 10^ -3 Since 10 10^ -3 , we can approximate 10 - 10^ -3 10. S 0.1 10 = 0.01\ Answer: 0.01\
