Question

What is the formula of shunt?

Answer 1

Answer:

With the equivalent resistance RA of the ammeter consisting of the galvanometer and the shunt in parallel, we have 50 mV= IgRg = IshRsh = IRA. Hence Rsh = 50/98 = 0.5102 Ω and RA = 50/100 = 0.5 Ω. Let us use the ammeter of Example 7.17 to measure the current through a resistance R = 20 Ω. (a) Find the current.

Answer 2

Answer:

As an example, a shunt resistor with a resistance of 1 mΩ is used as the series resistor in an ammeter. The resistor is placed in a circuit, and a voltage drop of 30 mV is measured across the resistor. This means that the current is equal to the voltage divided over the resistance, or: I = V / R = 0.030 / 0.001 = 30 A.
