A multirange current meter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in figure. We want a current meter that can measure 10 mA, 100 mA and 1 mA using a galvanometer of resistance 10 Ω  and that produces maximum deflection for current of 1 mA. Find S1 ,S2 and S3 that have to be used.

This is a Long Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Explanation- iG (G) = (I1-IG) (S1+S2+S3) for I1= 10mA

iG (G+S1) = (I2-IG) (S2+S3) for I2= 100mA

iG (G+S1+S2) = (I3-IG) (S3) for I3= 1A

S1= 1W, S2= 0,1W and S3= 0.01W
