03. Ans: (a)

Sol: The shunt Resistance is used for a milli-Ammeter to extend the range & to reduce the
resistance of the instrument

04. Ans: (d)

Sol: The Internal resistance of a practical Ammeter in the range of Hundreds of ohms

05. Ans: (a)

Sol: Similarly for an milli ammeter the range is in ohms

06. Ans: (b)

Sol: Similarly for an micro Ammeter the range is in kilo ohms
Note: The Internal resistance of
(1) Ideal Ammeter ---------------------Zero
(2) Ideal voltmeter --------------------- infinity
(3) Ideal Current source --------------- infinity
(4) Ideal voltage Source --------------- Zero.

17. Ans: (d)

Sol: Shunts are used to extend the range of Ammeter or galvanometer upto 100Amps only
& to measure high currents C.TS are used.
Multipliers are used to extend the range of the voltmeter upto 1KV & to measure high
voltages P.Ts are used

18. Ans:(a)
Sol: The Purpose of Shunt in an Ammeter is to by pass the current

19. Ans:(a)
Sol: The multiplier & meter coil are connected in series to a voltmeter
