The current measuring part of the Ammeter consists of a number of low resistors connected .............

Correct answer: B. Parallel with galvanometer

  • A. At an angle of 180 degrees with the galvanometer
  • B. Parallel with galvanometer
  • C. At an angle of 45 degrees With the galvanometer
  • D. Perpendicular with the galvanometer

Explanation

Since Galvanometer is a very sensitive instrument therefore it can't measure heavy currents. To convert a Galvanometer into an Ammeter, a very low resistance known as "shunt" resistance is connected in parallel to the Galvanometer.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
