Which one has resistance - ammeter or Mili ammeter?why?

Open in App

Solution

The galvanometer is converted into an ammeter by shunting with suitable resistance.

In such a case we shunt the milliammeter with the resistance of 100ohm and that for an ammeter is resistance of 0.1ohm.

From this we can say that milliammeter has greater resistance than normal ammeter.
