Resistance of an ideal ammeter is
- zero
- small
- very high
- infinite
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
An ammeter, also known as an ampere meter, is a measuring device used to measure the current in a circuit in amperes. Micro-ammeters and milli-ammeters are ammeters used to measure current in smaller units. Moving coil, electro-dynamic, digital, and other types of ammeters are used. In the circuit, they are all linked in series. If an ammeter has a significant amount of resistance, it will raise the equivalent resistance of the circuit, resulting in less current flowing. As a result, we will encounter measurement inaccuracies.
Top Questions on Moving charges and magnetism
- Two long parallel wires X and Y, separated by a distance of 6 cm, carry currents of 5 A and 4 A, respectively, in opposite directions as shown in the figure. Magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at point P at a distance of 4 cm from wire Y is \( 3 \times 10^{-5} \) T. The value of \( x \), which represents the distance of point P from wire X, is\( \_\_\_\_\_\) cm. (Take permeability of free space as \( \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \) SI units.)

Moving Charges and Magnetism
Moving charges generate an electric field and the rate of flow of charge is known as current. This is the basic concept in Electrostatics. Another important concept related to moving electric charges is the magnetic effect of current. Magnetism is caused by the current.
Magnetism:
- The relationship between a Moving Charge and Magnetism is that Magnetism is produced by the movement of charges.
- And Magnetism is a property that is displayed by Magnets and produced by moving charges, which results in objects being attracted or pushed away.
Magnetic Field:
Region in space around a magnet where the Magnet has its Magnetic effect is called the Magnetic field of the Magnet. Let us suppose that there is a point charge q (moving with a velocity v and, located at r at a given time t) in presence of both the electric field E (r) and the magnetic field B (r). The force on an electric charge q due to both of them can be written as,
F = q [ E (r) + v × B (r)] ≡ EElectric +Fmagnetic
This force was based on the extensive experiments of Ampere and others. It is called the Lorentz force.
