A galvanometer having a coil resistance of 100Ω gives a full scale deflection, when a current of 1 mA is passed through it. The value of resistance, which can convert this galvanometer into ammeter giving a full scale deflection for a current of 10 A, is:
Ig=10–3A
Rg=100Ω
R (shunt resistance) =Ig(Rg)I−Ig=0.01Ω
