In order to pass 10% of the main current through a moving coil galvanometer of 99 ohms, the resistance of the required shunt is :

(1) 9.9 Ω

(2) 10 Ω

(3) 11 Ω

(4) 9 Ω

When a \(12~\Omega\) resistor is connected in parallel with a moving coil galvanometer, its deflection reduces from \(50\) divisions to \(10\) divisions. What will be the resistance of the galvanometer?
1. \(24~\Omega\)
2. \(36~\Omega\)
3. \(48~\Omega\)
4. \(60~\Omega\)

A voltmeter has a resistance of G ohms and range V volts. The value of resistance used in series to convert it into a voltmeter of range nV volts is :

(1) nG

(2) $(n-1)G$

(3) $\frac{G}{n}$ 

(4) $\frac{G}{(n-1)}$

Which of the following statement is wrong:

(1) Voltmeter should have high resistance

(2) Ammeter should have low resistance

(3) Ammeter is placed in parallel across the conductor in a circuit

(4) Voltmeter is placed in parallel across the conductor in a circuit

A moving coil galvanometer has a resistance of 50 Ωand gives full scale deflection for 10 mA. How could it be converted into an ammeter with a full scale deflection for 1A :

(1) 50/99 Ω in series

(2) 50/99 Ω in parallel

(3) 0.01 Ω in series

(4) 0.01 Ω in parallel

The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is 

(1) Zero

(2) Very low

(3) Very large

(4) Infinite

The net resistance of a voltmeter should be large to ensure that :

A galvanometer having a resistance of \(8~\Omega\) is shunted by a wire of resistance \(2~\Omega\). If the total current is \(1~\text{A}\), the part of it passing through the shunt will be:
1. \(0.25~\text{A}\)
2. \(0.8~\text{A}\)
3. \(0.2~\text{A}\)
4. \(0.5~\text{A}\)

A voltmeter of resistance 1000 Ω gives full-scale deflection when a current of 100 mA flow through it. The shunt resistance required across it to enable it to be used as an ammeter reading 1 A at full-scale deflection is :

(1) 10000 Ω

(2) 9000 Ω

(3) 222 Ω

(4) 111 Ω

If an ammeter \(A\) reads \(2\) A and the voltmeter \(V\) reads \(20\) V, what is the value of resistance \(R\)? (Assuming finite resistances of ammeter and voltmeter)
