A circuit contains an ammeter, a batter of 30 V and a resistance 40.8 ohm all connected in series. If the ammeter has a coil of resistance 480 ohm and a shunt of 20 ohm, the reading in the ammeter will be:

(A)

0.25A

(B)

0.5A

(C)

1A

(D)

2A

Answer & Solution:

\(\large{R_{eq}~~of ~ammeter~=~={\Large{480×20\over 480+20}}=19.2\Omega~~~~~\\\text{Shunt is parallel to ammeter , so voltage is same across the both shunt and ammeter}\\Current~reading~of~ammeter~~={\Large{V_{ammeter}\over 19.2}}={\Large{30\over 19.2+40.8}}=0.5A }\)
