The resistance of a galvanometer is 50 ohms and the current required to give full scale deflection is 
. In order to convert it into an ammeter, reading upto 10 A , it is necessary to put a resistance of
A
in parallel B
in parallel C
in series D
in series
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The resistance of the galvanometer 
. The current required for a full scale deflection 
.
Maximum range of current to be measured I 
Now to convert this galvanometer into an ammeter, we need to put a shunt S in parallel as,
