4.28 Resistance of the galvanometer coil, G = 15 Ω
Current for which galvanometer shows full deflection, = 4 mA = 4 A
Range of ammeter has to be converted from 0 to 6 A, hence I = 6 A
A shunt resistor S is to be connected in parallel with the galvanometer to convert it to an ammeter. The value of S is given as
S = 10 mΩ
Hence, a shunt resistor of 10 mΩ is to be connected to galvanometer to convert it to an ammeter.
