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)
            

A galvanometer has a resistance of 25 ohm and a maximum of 0.01 A current can be passed through it. In order to change it into an ammeter of range 10 A, the shunt resistance required is 

(1) 5/999 ohm

(2) 10/999 ohm

(3) 20/999 ohm

(4) 25/999 ohm

A galvanometer has 30 divisions and a sensitivity 16$\mu A/\text{div.}$ It can be converted into a voltmeter to read 3 V by connecting (approximately):

(1) Resistance nearly 6 k Ω in series

(2) 6 k Ω in parallel

(3) 500 Ω in series

(4) It cannot be converted

A voltmeter has a range 0-V with a series resistance R. With a series resistance 2R, the range is 0-V'. The correct relation between V and V' is :

(1) $V^{\text{'}}=2V$

(2) $V^{\text{'}}>2V$

(3) $V^{\text{'}}>>2V$

(4) $V\text{'}<2V$

If an ammeter is to be used in place of a voltmeter then we must connect with the ammeter a :

(1) Low resistance in parallel

(2) High resistance in parallel

(3) High resistance in series

(4) Low resistance in series

A galvanometer, having a resistance of 50 Ω gives a full scale deflection for a current of 0.05 A. The length in meter of a resistance wire of area of cross-section 2.97× 10^–2 cm² that can be used to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter which can read a maximum of 5 A current is (Specific resistance of the wire = 5 × 10^–7 Ωm) 

(1) 9

(2) 6

(3) 3

(4) 1.5

An ammeter reads up to 1 ampere. Its internal resistance is 0.81 ohm. To increase the range to 10 A the value of the required shunt is :

(1) 0.09 Ω

(2) 0.03 Ω

(3) 0.3 Ω

(4) 0.9 Ω
