An ammeter having internal resistance of $0.81 \Omega$ can read upto 1. To convert it into an ammeter reading 0 - 10 A we have to connect: |
a $90 \Omega$ resistor in series a $9.0 \Omega$ resistor in parallel a $0.09 \Omega$ resistor in parallel a $0.9 \Omega$ resistor in parallel |
a $0.09 \Omega$ resistor in parallel |
∴The correct answer is Option (3) → a $0.09 \Omega$ resistor in parallel $R_A$, Internal Resistance of ammeter = 0.81 Ω $I_A$, Maximum current for ammeter = 1 A $I_{new}$, New desired current range = 10 A $∴I_{shunt}=I_{new}-I_A$ $=10A-1A=9A$ and, $V_A=I_A×R_A$ [Ohm's law] $=(1×0.81)Ω=0.81V$ $∴R_{shunt}=\frac{V_A}{I_{shunt}}=\frac{0.81}{9}=0.09Ω$ |
