A moving coil galvanometer has turns and each turn has an area The magnetic field produced by the magnet inside the galvanometer is The torsional constant of the suspension wire is When a current flows through the galvanometer, a full scale deflection occurs if the coil rotates by . The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer is This galvanometer is to be converted into an ammeter capable of measuring current in the range . For this purpose, a shunt resistance is to be added in parallel to the galvanometer. The value of this shunt resistance, in ohms, is .

Correct answer: 5.56
- Use torque balance at full-scale deflection
For a moving coil galvanometer,
where:
So,
Substitute values:
First compute numerator:
Now denominator:
so
Thus,
So the galvanometer gives full-scale deflection at
- Convert galvanometer into 1 A ammeter
Desired ammeter range:
Hence current through shunt will be
Galvanometer resistance is
Since galvanometer and shunt are in parallel, voltage across both is same:
Therefore,
Substitute values:
- Final answer
