I1 Suppose that the current to be measured by an ammeter is so large that a galvanometer deflected by the current would be pinned at its maximum reading. This problem can be resolved by the use of a shunt resistor (Fig. 27-45). Show that with the shunt resistor (resistance R,) present, the current I is given in terms of a reduced current lG flowing through the galvanometer by the formula IIG[1 + (RG/R,)], where RG is the resistance of the...
Assume that the ammeter you are using in circuit analysis is made from a galvanometer with 70 Ω of resistance and a shunt resistor. The galvanometer has a maximum reading when 0.002 A flows through it. The ammeter, however, can make a maximum reading of 3.0 A. Determine the value of the shunt resistor.
