A 100 μA ammeter has an internal resistance of 100 Ω. The range is to be extended to 500 μA. The shunt required is of resistance __________(a) 20.0 Ω(b) 22.22 Ω(c) 25.0 Ω(d) 50.0 ΩThe question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.My question is from Advanced Miscellaneous Problems on Measurement of Resistance in portion Measurement of Resistance of Electrical Measurements

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (C) 25.0 Ω

For explanation: Ish Rsh = Im Rm

Ish = I – Im or, \(\frac{I}{I_m} – 1 = \frac{R_m}{R_{sh}}\)

Now, m = \(\frac{I}{I_m}\)

Or, m – 1 = \(\frac{R_m}{R_{sh}}\)

∴ Rsh = 25 Ω.
