An ammeter of resistance 5Ω has a full-scale deflection when a current of 50 mA flows in it. The value of the resistor required to adapt it to measure a current of 5 A is?

  • 0.25Ω
  • 5.00Ω
  • 19.80Ω
  • 0.05Ω checkmark

The correct answer is: D

Explanation

R = (igrg)/I-ig = (50 x 10-3 x 5)/5-(50 x 10-3) = (0.25)/4.95 = 0.0505 = 0.05Ω
