Assertion: In a shunted galvanometer, only $10 \%$ current passes through the galvanometer. The resistance of the galvanometer is . Then the resistance of the shunt is .
Reason: If $\mathrm{S}$ is the resistance of the shunt, then voltage across and is same.

Important Questions on Magnetic Effect of Electric Current
A small cylindrical soft iron piece is kept in a galvanometer so that

In a moving coil galvanometer, the deflection of the coil is related to the electrical current by the relation.
OR
If in a moving coil galvanometer, a current I produces a deflection then

The resistance of an ideal ammeter is

Assertion: Higher the range, greater is the resistance of ammeter.
Reason: To increase the range of ammeter, additional shunt needs to be used across it.

In an ammeter $0.2 \%$ of main current passes through the galvanometer. If resistance of galvanometer is $G,$ the resistance of ammeter will be

The resistance of a galvanometer is . If only of the main current may flow through the galvanometer, in which way and of what value, a resistor is to be used?

Resistance of galvanometer is . The effective resistance of an ammeter with a shunt is . What is the value of a shunt?

A galvanometer whose resistance is,, gives full-scale deflection with a current of so that it can read a maximum current of . Shunt resistance is added in parallel with it. The resistance of the ammeter so formed iS
