MCQ
Assertion: To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter a small resistance is connected in parallel with it.

Reason: The small resistance increases the combined resistance of the combination.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: C.
If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
c
An ammeter should have a low resistance which we get when we connect low resistance in parallel with galvanometer.
