The sensitivity of a galvanometer of resistance 406 ohm is increased by 30 times.
The shunt used is :
Find the reading of the ammeters (in ampere) connected as shown in the network.
In the circuit as shown in figure, the current in ammeter is:
A moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter reading up to 0.03 A by connecting a shunt of resistance 4r across it and into an ammeter reading up to 0.06 A when a shunt of resistance r is connected across it. What is the maximum current which can be sent through this galvanometer, if no shunt is used?
A galvanometer having 50 divisions provided with a variable shunt which is used to measure the current when connected in series with a resistance of and a battery of internal resistance .It is observed that when the shunt resistances are and ,the deflection are respectively 9 and 30 division. The resistance of the Galvanometer is :
The reading of ammeter in the figure shown below is
Ammeter
It is a device used to measure current and always connected in series with the circuit
In the above circuit, A represents the ammeter.
Conversion of galvanometer into ammeter: Connect a low resistance (shunt) in parallel to the galvanometer.
The equivalent resistance of the combination is where G is the galvanometer resistance and s is the shunt resistance.
Required shunt . Where i is the total current, is the galvanometer current
To pass part of main current through galvanometer that is If
Then the required shunt resistance
