1. An ammeter as in Figure 1 has a PMMC instrument with a coil resistance of Rm = 99Ω and
f.s.d current of 0.1mA. Shunt resistance Rs = 1Ω. Determine the total current passing through
the ammeter at a) f.s.d, b) 0.5 f.s.d, c) 0.25 f.s.d
[10mA, 5mA, 2.5mA]

2. A PMMC instrument has a f.s.d of 100µA and a coil resistance of 1kΩ. Calculate the required
shunt resistance value to convert the instrument into an ammeter with:
a) f.s.d = 100mA
b) f.s.d = 1A
[1.001Ω, 0.10001Ω]

3. A PMMC instrument has a three-resistor Ayrton shunt connected across it to make an ammeter
as in Figure 2. The resistance values are R1 = 0.05Ω, R2 = 0.45Ω and R3 = 4.5Ω. The meter has
Rm = 1kΩ and If.s.d = 50µA. Calculate the three ranges of the ammeter.
