99. A moving coil galvanometer of resistance 20 Ω gives a full scale deflection when a current of 1 mA is passed through it. It is to be converted into an ammeter reading 20 A on full scale deflection. If shunt wire of 0.005 Ω only is available then what resistance should be connected in series with the galvanometer coil. 1 . 99 . 955 Ω 2 . 79 . 995 Ω 3 . 59 . 295 Ω 4 . 19 . 955 Ω Share with your friends Share 5 Decoder_2 answered this Dear student,A moving coil galvanometer can be converted by connected a small resistance called shunt in parallel to the Galvanometer.S=IgGI-IgS=10-3×2020-10-3=0.001ohmSo shunt resistance of 0.001ohm will be used.But we have only 0.005ohm so to produce effective resistance of 0.001ohm let we add R ohm in series with galvanometer,10.001=120+R+10.005⇒R=19.99Ohm≈19.95ohmRegards -7 View Full Answer
