Solution:
V =IR
22 mA x 12Ω=264 mV
Rshunt = V/I = 264 mV/ 19.987 = 0.0132 Ω
1. Exercise
If the fsd of a moving coil meter is 50 mA and the coil resistance is 4.0 Ω, find the value of a
shunt resistor which can convert this meter to a meter having a fsd of 3.0 A.

Solution
2. A moving-coil instrument has a coil resistance of 100 Ω and gives a full-scale deflection (fsd)
current of 500 µA. Determine the shunt resistance required if the instrument is to be used as
an ammeter with a fsd of 5 A.
