A meter has a full-scale deflection of 40 microamperes and an internal resistance of 96 ohms. You want it to read 0 to 1 mA. The value of the shunt to be used is:

Why

To make the meter read up to 1 mA, most of that current must bypass the delicate coil through a parallel resistor called a shunt. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
