Question

a given ammeter, a student sees that needle indicates 17 divisions in ammeter while performing an experiment to verify Ohm’s law. If ammeter has 10 divisions between 0 and 0.5A, then what is the value corresponding to 17 divisions

Answer 1

hey mate here is ur answer.
Therefore 1 division means = 0.05
therefore 17 division means = 0.05×17=0.85 division.
I hope this answer is help u!!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

0.85A

Explanation:

Ammeter has 10 divisions between 0 to 0.5A

So, reading of one division { it is also known as least count } = {gap between higher value and lower value }/number of divisions

= (0.5A - 0)/10 = 0.05A

∴ reading of one division = 0.05A

∴ reading of 17 division = 17 × reading of one division = 17 × 0.05 = 0.85A

Hence, the value corresponding to 17 divisions= 0.85A
