A galvanometer has full scale deflection current of 500 micro-Ampere, and resistance of 100 Ohm. Shunt with what resistance has to be combined with the galvanometer in order to transform it to an ammeter able to measure current of 10 Ampere full scale?

resistance of shunt required = 5 ohms

Explanation:

A shunt is a low resistance that is connected in parallel to a galvanometer in order to convert it to a voltmeter.

since the shunt and galvanometer are connected in parallel, then voltage across the galvanometer is equal to voltage across the shunt.

5Ω

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
