A 100mv, 5mA d’Arsonval movement is to be used in an ammeter whose full-scale reading is 1A. Calculate RA.(a) 0.7 ohms(b) 0.5 ohms(c) 0.1 ohms(d) 0.2 ohmsI had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question comes from Measuring Voltage and Current in section Simple Resistive Circuits of Electric Circuits

Answer»

Right CHOICE is (c) 0.1 ohms

The explanation is: 5MA is flowing through the COIL which IMPLIES 995mA are diverted through RA.

V = iR

= 100 * 10^-3

= 995 * 10^-3 RA

RA= 0.100Ω.
