A galvanometer having 30 divisions has current sensitivity of 20 muA/ division. It has a resistance of 25 ohm. How will you convert it into an ammeter measuring voltmeter reading upto 1V?

Solution :The full scale DEFLECTION current
`i_g = 30 XX (20 xx 10^(-6) ) = 6 xx 10^(-4) A`
If S is the required VALUE of the shunt connected in parallel with galvanometer, then
` i_g = (S)/(S+G) I rArr 6 xx 10^(-4) = (S)/(S +25) xx 1`
After solving , we get `S= 150/9994 Omega = 0.0150 Omega`
The resistance of the ammeter
` R_A = (SG)/(S + G) = (0.0150 xx 25)/(0.0150+ 25) = 0.0150 Omega`
To convert this ammeter into the VOLTMETER , we can use
` V = i_g (R_A + R_0)" Here " V = 1V, i_g = 1A`
` therefore 1 =1 (0.0150 + R_0) " or" R_0 0.985 Omega `
