In an ammeter of main current passes through the galvanometer. If resistance of galvanometer is the resistance of ammeter will be
To solve this problem, we need to determine the resistance of the ammeter based on the given conditions.Given:⢠of the main current passes through the galvanometer.⢠Resistance of the galvanometer is Let's denote:⢠as the main current.⢠as the current through the galvanometer.⢠as the shunt resistance connected in parallel with the galvanometer.From the given information, we have:Since the galvanometer and shunt are in parallel, the voltage across them is the same.Using Ohm's Law, the voltage across the galvanometer is:The current through the shunt is:The voltage across the shunt is:Since we have:Substitute the values of and Cancel from both sides:Solve for Simplify the expression:The resistance of the ammeter is the equivalent resistance of the galvanometer and shunt in parallel:Substitute the value of Combine the terms:Solve for Therefore, the resistance of the ammeter is This corresponds to Option 3.
