Two galvanometers have identical characteristics. One of them is converted into a milliammeter and the other into a microammeter. The shunt resistance of microammeter as compared to milliammeter will be: |
same less more zero |
more |
The correct answer is Option (3) → more The formula for shunt resistance $(R_s)$, $R_s=\frac{R_g}{I-I_g}$ ⇒ $R_s$ (microammeter) = 1000 × $R_s$ (milliammeter) So, the shunt resistance of the microammeter is 1000 times greater than that of milliammeter. |
