Electrical and Electronics Measurements

  1. An ammeter has a current range of 0 – 5 A, and its internal resistance is 0.2 Ω. In order to change the range to 0 – 25 A, we need to add a resistance of
    1. 0.8 Ω in series with the meter
    2. 1.0 Ω in series with the meter
    3. 0.04 Ω in parallel with the meter
    4. 0.05 Ω in parallel with the meter
Correct Option: D


For 25A,
Let 5A through ammeter A1.
So, remaining current through Rsh,
I = 25 – 5
= 20 A
∴ 20 × Rsh = 0.2 × 5
⇒ Rsh = 1/20 = 0.05Ω
