A galvanometer with resistance gives full scale deflection with a current of . The value of shunt, in order to convert it into an ammeter of ampere range, will be ___________.
Step 1. Given data
Total current passing through circuit is
Total current passing through the galvanometer which corresponds to full-scale reading is
Resistance of the galvanometer is
Step 2. Formula to be used.
As we know that,
Substitute the given values in the above equation.
So,
Hence, A galvanometer with resistance gives full scale deflection with a current of . The value of shunt, in order to convert it into an ammeter of ampere range, will be .
