A milliammeter whose resistance is 120 ohm has full scale deflection with a current of 5mA. How will you use it to measure a maximum current of 100 A​

Respuesta :

Answer:

If 99.995 A  pass thru a shunt and 5 mA pass thru the meter, the meter will have full scale deflection for a current of 100 A.

By Ohm's Law  

99.995 Rs = .005 Rm

Rs = .005 / 99.995 * 120

Rs = .006 ohms

Using a shunt resistance of .006 Ω will produce the required result.
