JEE AdvancedPhysicsMagnetismNumerical+3 / −1
A moving coil galvanometer has 505050 turns and each turn has an area 2×10−4 m2.2 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,{m^2}.2×10−4m2. The magnetic field produced by the magnet inside the galvanometer is 0.02T.0.02T.0.02T. The torsional constant of the suspension wire is 10−4 N m rad−1.{10^{ - 4}}\,N\,m\,ra{d^{ - 1}}.10−4Nmrad−1. When a current flows through the galvanometer, a full scale deflection occurs if the coil rotates by 0.2rad0.2rad0.2rad. The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer is 50Ω.50\Omega .50Ω. This galvanometer is to be converted into an ammeter capable of measuring current in the range 0−1.0A0-1.0A0−1.0A. For this purpose, a shunt resistance is to be added in parallel to the galvanometer. The value of this shunt resistance, in ohms, is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 5.56

  1. Use torque balance at full-scale deflection

For a moving coil galvanometer,

NBIgA=C θN B I_g A = C\,\thetaNBIg​A=Cθ

where:

  • N=50N = 50N=50
  • B=0.02 TB = 0.02\,\text{T}B=0.02T
  • A=2×10−4 m2A = 2\times 10^{-4}\,\text{m}^2A=2×10−4m2
  • C=10−4 N m rad−1C = 10^{-4}\,\text{N m rad}^{-1}C=10−4N m rad−1
  • θ=0.2 rad\theta = 0.2\,\text{rad}θ=0.2rad

So,

Ig=CθNBAI_g = \frac{C\theta}{N B A}Ig​=NBACθ​

Substitute values:

Ig=10−4×0.250×0.02×2×10−4I_g = \frac{10^{-4}\times 0.2}{50\times 0.02\times 2\times 10^{-4}}Ig​=50×0.02×2×10−410−4×0.2​

First compute numerator:

10−4×0.2=2×10−510^{-4}\times 0.2 = 2\times 10^{-5}10−4×0.2=2×10−5

Now denominator:

50×0.02=150\times 0.02 = 150×0.02=1

so

1×2×10−4=2×10−41\times 2\times 10^{-4} = 2\times 10^{-4}1×2×10−4=2×10−4

Thus,

Ig=2×10−52×10−4=0.1 AI_g = \frac{2\times 10^{-5}}{2\times 10^{-4}} = 0.1\,\text{A}Ig​=2×10−42×10−5​=0.1A

So the galvanometer gives full-scale deflection at

Ig=0.1 AI_g = 0.1\,\text{A}Ig​=0.1A


  1. Convert galvanometer into 1 A ammeter

Desired ammeter range:

I=1.0 AI = 1.0\,\text{A}I=1.0A

Hence current through shunt will be

Is=I−Ig=1.0−0.1=0.9 AI_s = I - I_g = 1.0 - 0.1 = 0.9\,\text{A}Is​=I−Ig​=1.0−0.1=0.9A

Galvanometer resistance is

Rg=50 ΩR_g = 50\,\OmegaRg​=50Ω

Since galvanometer and shunt are in parallel, voltage across both is same:

IgRg=IsRsI_g R_g = I_s R_sIg​Rg​=Is​Rs​

Therefore,

Rs=IgRgIsR_s = \frac{I_g R_g}{I_s}Rs​=Is​Ig​Rg​​

Substitute values:

Rs=0.1×500.9=50.9=5.56 ΩR_s = \frac{0.1\times 50}{0.9} = \frac{5}{0.9} = 5.56\,\OmegaRs​=0.90.1×50​=0.95​=5.56Ω


  1. Final answer

5.56 Ω\boxed{5.56\,\Omega}5.56Ω​
