JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th April Evening Slot - No. 26)

The resistance of a galvanometer is 50 ohm and the maximum current which can be passed through it is 0.002 A. What resistance must be connected to it in order to convert it into an ammeter of range 0 – 0.5 A ?
0.02 ohm
0.2 ohm
0.002 ohm
0.5 ohm

Explanation

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th April Evening Slot Physics - Current Electricity Question 242 English Explanation

We have
Ig Rg = (0.5 – Ig) S

$$ \Rightarrow $$ (0.002) (50) = (0.5 – Ig) S

$$ \Rightarrow S \simeq {{0.002 \times 50} \over {0.5}} = 0.2\Omega $$
