A galvanometer has a current sensitivity of divisions per milliampere and voltage sensitivity of division per millivolt. The galvanometer has divisions and it is to be used as an ammeter to read . This requires a shunt of value


Important Questions on Magnetic Effect of Electric Current
If a shunt of of the coil resistance is applied to a moving coil galvanometer, then its sensitivity becomes


In an ammeter, $4 \%$ of the main current is passing through the galvanometer. If shunt resistance is $5 \Omega,$ then resistance of galvanometer will be

Assertion: In a shunted galvanometer, only $10 \%$ current passes through the galvanometer. The resistance of the galvanometer is . Then the resistance of the shunt is .
Reason: If $\mathrm{S}$ is the resistance of the shunt, then voltage across and is same.

The resistance of an ideal ammeter is

Assertion: Higher the range, greater is the resistance of ammeter.
Reason: To increase the range of ammeter, additional shunt needs to be used across it.

In an ammeter $0.2 \%$ of main current passes through the galvanometer. If resistance of galvanometer is $G,$ the resistance of ammeter will be

The resistance of a galvanometer is . If only of the main current may flow through the galvanometer, in which way and of what value, a resistor is to be used?
