Question
An ammeter has a f.s.d. of 100 mA and
a resistance of 50 2. The ammeter is used to meas-
ure the current in a load of resistance 500 2 when the
supply voltage is 10 V. Calculate (a) the ammeter read-
ing expected (neglecting its resistance), (b) the actual
current in the circuit, (c) the power dissipated in the
ammeter, and (d) the power dissipated in the load.
From Figure 10.10,
