An ammeter model consists of an ideal ammeter in series with a 20-Q resistor. It is connected with a current source and an unknown resistor Rx as shown in the given figure. The ammeter reading is noted. When a potentiometer Ris added and adjusted until the ammeter reading drops to one half its previous reading, then R= 62 Q. What is the value of Rx? I A 20 Ω Ammeter model Rx The value of Rx is Ω. R
