An ammeter has a resistance of 50 ohms and a shunt of 0.01 Ω. The deflection is θ. If the shunt resistance is increased to 0.02 Ω, the deflection will be.
θ
0.5θ
0.25θ
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since shunt resistance is doubled, current through ammeter is doubled (current division for resistances in parallel). Therefore reading is 2 θ.
