Question:medium
The shunt resistance to be connected across a galvanometer of resistance $50,\Omega$ to send $\dfrac{1}{1000}^{\text{th}}$ of the main circuit current through the galvanometer is nearly
The shunt resistance to be connected across a galvanometer of resistance $50,\Omega$ to send $\dfrac{1}{1000}^{\text{th}}$ of the main circuit current through the galvanometer is nearly
Show Hint
Physics Tip: To convert galvanometer into ammeter, shunt resistance must be very small so that maximum current bypasses the meter.
