A moving coil galvanometer works on the principle that a current-carrying coil placed in a magnetic field, experiences a torque.


The galvanometer shown below has a resistance (R<sub>G</sub>) of 50.00 Ω. Now, this galvanometer is converted to an ammeter with the help of a shunt resistance (r<sub>S</sub>) of 0.05 Ω. Calculate the current passing through the galvanometer in both the cases.<br /><img src='https://www.sanfoundry.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/physics-questions-answers-moving-coil-galvanometer-q9.png' width='263' height='224' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-300595' />
