A
low resistance in parallel
a To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter, one needs to connect a low resistance in parallel so that maximum current passes through the shunt wire and ammeter remains protected.

In the following figure a wire bent in the form of a regular polygon of $n$ sides is inscribed in a circle of radius $a$. Net magnetic field at centre will be
A conducting bar $PQ$ of length $l$ carrying current $I$ is suspended from a rigid support as shown in figure. A uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to $PQ$ and directed away from the reader (inside the plane) is applied. If the mass of the bar is $M$ the tension in each string is
In the figure shown a coil of single turn is wound on a sphere of radius $R$ and mass $m.$ The plane of the coil is parallel to the plane and lies in the equatorial plane of the sphere. Current in the coil is $i$. The value of $B$ if the sphere is in equilibrium is
Proton, deuteron and alpha particle of same kinetic energy are moving in circular trajectories in a constant magnetic field. The radii of proton, deuteron and alpha particle are respectively $r_p, r_d$ and $r_{\alpha}$ Which one of the following relation is correct?
A voltmeter has resistance of $2000\, ohms$ and it can measure upto $2\,V$. If we want to increase its range to $10\, V$, then the required resistance in series will be ........... $\Omega $
A horizontal rod of mass $10\, gm$ and length $10\, cm$ is placed on a smooth plane inclined at an angle of $60^\circ $ with the horizontal, with the length of the rod parallel to the edge of the inclined plane. A uniform magnetic field of induction $B$ is applied vertically downwards. If the current through the rod is $1.73$ $ampere$, then the value of $B$ for which the rod remains stationary on the inclined plane is......$Tesla$
A charge $q$ coulomb moves in a circle at $n$ revolutions per second and the radius of the circle is $r$ metre; then magnetic field at the centre of the circle is
A galvanometer having coil resistance $10 \ \Omega$ shows a full scale deflection for a current of $3 \mathrm{~mA}$. For it to measure a current of $8 \mathrm{~A}$, the value of the shunt should be:
