- it does not get overheated
- it does not draw excessive current
- it can measure large currents
- it does not appreciably change the current to be measured
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Ammeter are designed to have a small internal resistor in order to measure the current passing on its branch without actually using any of it. Usually, it has a negligible internal resistance and voltage drop which is ideal to use for measurement approximations.

There are various electrical instruments used to measure current, power, voltage, etc. Some of them are briefly explained below:
Moving Coil Galvanometer
- It is an electromagnetic device which measures small values of current.
- Its working principle is that whenever a current loop is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a certain torque. The value of that torque can be modified by modifying the current in the loop.
- For a current carrying loop having N turns, and cross sectional area A, carrying current i, whenever it is placed in and along the direction of an external magnetic field B, it experiences a torque given by:
