Shunt in Ammeter Calculator

Calculate Shunt







Formula

The formula to calculate Shunt (Rsh) is:

\[ R_{sh} = R_G \cdot \left( \frac{I_G}{I - I_G} \right) \]

Where:

Definition

Shunt is a device that allows electric current to pass around another point in the circuit by creating a low-resistance path.

Resistance through Galvanometer is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a galvanometer, measured in ohms, affecting the device's sensitivity and accuracy.

Electric Current through Galvanometer is the flow of electrons through a galvanometer, which is an analog electromechanical measuring instrument that detects electric current.

Electric Current is the flow of electrons in a conductor, measured in amperes, and is a fundamental concept in understanding electrical circuits and devices.

How to calculate Shunt in Ammeter

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ R_{sh} = R_G \cdot \left( \frac{I_G}{I - I_G} \right) \]

Evaluating:

\[ R_{sh} = 1.36 \cdot \left( \frac{1.101}{2.1 - 1.101} \right) \]

The Shunt is 1.49885885885886 Ω.
