What is the value of the shunt resistance (S) required if a galvanometer has a resistance f 50 Ω and a maximum of 0.05A current that can be passed through it? The ammeter range is changed to 20 A.(a) 0.120 Ω(b) 0.125 Ω(c) 0.130 Ω(d) 0.145 ΩThis question was posed to me in an interview for job.I would like to ask this question from Moving Coil Galvanometer in portion Moving Charges and Magnetism of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (b) 0.125 Ω

Best explanation: GIVEN: Ig = 0.05 A; G = 50 Ω; I = 20 A

Required EQUATION ➔ S = Ig × \(\frac {G}{(I – I_g)}\)

S = \(\frac {0.05 \times 50}{(20 – 0.05)}\)

S = \(\frac {2.5}{19.95}\)

S = 0.125 Ω

Therefore, the required SHUNT resistance is 0.125 Ω.
