A galvanometer, having a resistance of 50 Ω gives a full scale deflection for a current of 0.05 A. The length in meter of a resistance wire of area of cross-section 2.97× 10^–2 cm² that can be used to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter which can read a maximum of 5 A current is (Specific resistance of the wire = 5 × 10^–7 Ωm)

An ammeter reads up to 1 ampere. Its internal resistance is 0.81 ohm. To increase the range to 10 A the value of the required shunt is :

The length of a wire of a potentiometer is 100 cm, and the emf of its standard cell is E volt. It is employed to measure the e.m.f of a battery whose internal resistance is 0.5 Ω. If the balance point is obtained at l = 30 cm from the positive end, the e.m.f. of the battery is :

(1) $\frac{30E}{100}$

(2) $\frac{30E}{100.5}$

(3) $\frac{30E}{(100-0.5)}$

(4) $\frac{30(E-0.5i)}{100}$, where i is the current in the potentiometer

In a metre bridge experiment, the null point is obtained at 20 cm from one end of the wire when resistance X is balanced against another resistance Y. If X < Y, then where will be the new position of the null point from the same end, if one decides to balance a resistance of 4X against Y
