It is desired to convert a 0-10 mA meter movement, with an internal resistance of 100 ohms, into a 0-1000 mA meter. The required value of shunt resistance is about
  • A0.1 ohms
  • B1 ohms
  • C99 ohms
  • D100 ohms

Given that, full scale deflection current (IFSD) = 100 mA

Galvanometer resistance (Rm) = 100 Ω

Required full scale reading (I) = 1000 A

Rm = Internal resistance of the coil

Rsh = Parallel resistance

I = required full-scale reading

Im = Full-scale reading of the meter
