Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

An ammeter connected in series reads 0.25 A in a circuit with 150 Ω load resistance and an internal resistance of 0.05 Ω. Calculate the true current in the circuit.

💡 Hint: Calculate voltage first using ammeter reading.

Challenge 2 Hard

How can we determine the effect of an ammeter's internal resistance on its reading? Design an experimental setup to measure this.

💡 Hint: Maintain a controlled environment and use multiple load values.
