A milliameter with full scale deflection of 10mA has an internal resistance of 5 ohms. It would be converted to an ammeter with a full scale deflection of 1A by connecting a resistance of
\(\frac{5}{99}\)ohms in series with it
\(\frac{5}{99}\)ohms in parallel with it
\(\frac{99}{5}\)ohms in series with it
\(\frac{99}{5}\)ohms in parallel with it
2 ohms in series with it
