- Modification to ammeter to measure bigger current
Sensitivity of the ammeter means that how small a current the ammeter can measure. Example, if the original set up is 0.2 A per division, and the modified set up can measure up to 0.1 A per division, so we say the latter one is more sensitive as it is able to measure smaller change in the currrent.
- Which 2 junctions to connect to ahieve greatest resistance?
Based on individual calculations, the highest effective resistance will only be achieved if the junctions are connected at Q and S.
- What is the current in wire OP? Is it flowing from O to P or P to O?
Solutions: Option B Whatever that goes in has to come out. With this basic concept, you will be able to solve this question easily. Ignoring the unknown branch, Total current going into O = 8A + 6A = 14A Total current going out of O = 12A + 4A = 16A Hence in order to be equal, 2A must be flowing in direction PO. Hence answer is B.
- Finding effective resistance when a wire is bent into different shapes
