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 :

(2) 0.03 Ω

(3) 0.3 Ω

(4) 0.9 Ω

The current flowing in a coil of resistance \(90~\Omega\) is to be reduced by \(90\%\). What value of resistance should be connected in parallel with it?
