Important Questions on Ammeter
In the circuit shown, and . With the switch open the reading of the ammeter is one-third its reading when is closed. Calculate the resistance of the ammeter (in ).

In the circuit shown in the figure the reading of an ideal ammeter is the same with both switches open as with both closed then find the resistance (in ).

In the circuit shown, battery, ammeter and voltmeter are ideal and the switch is initially closed as shown. When switch is opened,

A circuit contains an ideal battery, three resistors and two ideal ammeters. The ammeters read and . After two of the resistors are switched, the readings of the ammeters did not change. Find the battery current.

The galvanometer shown in the figure has resistance It is shunted by a series combination of a resistance and an ideal cell of emf A current passes as shown:
