HARD
IMPORTANT

An ammeter and a voltmeter of suitable ranges are to be used to measure the current and voltage of an electric lamp. If a mistake were made and the meters are interchanged what will happen? Explain.

HARD
IMPORTANT

A galvanometer of resistance 50 Ω produces full-scale deflection for a current of 0.15 A. Determine the value of shunt required to make it an ammeter of range of 1.5 A and  5 A.

HARD
IMPORTANT

A 50 mV voltmeter has a resistance of 5 ohm. A multiplier has been inserted to produce a voltmeter range of 3 volt How can be multiplier be modified so that the new meter will have a range of 15 V.
