Resistance of P-N Junction

What happens ...

Question

What happens to range of ammeter if the value of shunt connected decreases?

Open in App

Solution

Range of the ammeter will increase

Here is the explanation

We know shunt resistance will be connected in parallel with ammeter so when we decrease shunt resistance the more current will pass through shunt resistance and less current will pass through ammeter.Hence range of the ammeter will increase.
