Question

In a given ammeter, a student sees that the needle indicates 17 divisions in ammeter while performing an experiment to verify OHM’s Law. If ammeter has10 divisions between 0 and 0.5 A, then what is the value corresponding to 10 divisions. Please provide the steps that follow..

Answer 1

0.85 is the answer because 1 division show 0.05 ampere current : hence o.o5×10=0.025

Answer 2

Answer:

0.85 A

Explanation:

Given :

10 division of an ammeter is between 0 to 0.5 A

For 1 division :

= > 0.5 / 10 A

= > 5 / 100 = 1 / 20 A

Now for 17 divisions :

= > 17 / 20

= > 0.85 A .

Hence corresponding to 17 divisions is 0.85 A.
