(a) \(\frac{3}{5} ohm\)
(b) \(2 ohm\)
(c) \(\frac{6}{5} ohm\)
(d) \(3 ohm\)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \(3 ohm\)
Explanation:
1. Suppose resistance of wires are \({R}_{1}\) and \({R}_{2}\)then
2. \(\frac{6}{5}=\frac{{R}_{1}{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}+{R}_{2}}.\) If \({R}_{2}\) breaks then \({R}_{1}=2Ω\)
3. Hence, \(\frac{6}{5}=\frac{2×{R}_{2}}{2+{R}_{2}}⇒{R}_{2}=3Ω\)
(a) 6 :5
(b) 6 :8
(c) 5 :8
(d) 1 :2
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) 5 :8
Explanation:
1. Resistance\(=ρ\frac{l}{A}\)
2. \(∴\frac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}=\frac{{ρ}_{1}}{{ρ}_{2}}×\frac{{l}_{1}}{{l}_{2}}×\frac{{A}_{2}}{{A}_{1}}=\frac{2}{3}×\frac{3}{4}×\frac{5}{4}=\frac{5}{8}\)

(b) \(2L, A\)
(c) \(L, A\)
(d) None of these
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \(L/2,2A\)

(c) \(\frac{G}{20}\)
(d) \(\frac{G}{19}\)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \(\frac{G}{19}\)
Explanation:
1. \(\frac{{i}_{g}}{i}=\frac{S}{G+S }⇒\frac{5}{100}=\frac{S}{G+S}⇒S=\frac{G}{19}\)
(a) \(\frac{{R}_{0}}{n}\)
(b) \(\frac{{R}_{0}}{(n-1)}\)
(c) \(\frac{{R}_{0}}{(n+1)}\)
(d) None of these
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) None of these
Explanation:
1. A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by using a low resistance wire in parallel with the galvanometer. The range of ammeter can be increased but cannot be decreased. The reason is that a series resistor cannot change the current that will produce full deflection.
2. A shunt connected in parallel is given by
3. \(S=\frac{{I}_{g}G}{I-{I}_{g}}\)
4. If \(I<{I}_{g}\), then the value of S is negative. Hence, a galvanometer cannot be converted into an ammeter of range \(I<{I}_{g}\).
