Meter Current for Shunt Type Ohmmeter Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Meter Current = (Source Voltage*Unknown Resistance)/(Shunt Resistance*Meter Resistance+Unknown Resistance*Shunt Resistance+Unknown Resistance*Meter Resistance)
I_m = (V_s*R_x)/(R_s*R_m+R_x*R_s+R_x*R_m)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Meter Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Meter Current is the current flowing through the coil of an ohmmeter when in working state.
Source Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Source Voltage refers to as a fundamental element that supplies electrical energy to a circuit.
Unknown Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Unknown Resistance is the value of the unknown resistance connected for measurement.
Shunt Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Shunt Resistance is a type of resistor specifically designed to divert or shunt a known portion of electrical current away from a primary circuit.
Meter Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Meter Resistance refers to the internal resistance of a measuring instrument. This resistance is inherent to the design of the instrument and affects the accuracy of measurements made by the device.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Source Voltage: 220 Volt --> 220 Volt No Conversion Required
Unknown Resistance: 140 Ohm --> 140 Ohm No Conversion Required
Shunt Resistance: 37.5 Ohm --> 37.5 Ohm No Conversion Required
Meter Resistance: 75 Ohm --> 75 Ohm No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

I_m = (V_s*R_x)/(R_s*R_m+R_x*R_s+R_x*R_m) --> (220*140)/(37.5*75+140*37.5+140*75)

Evaluating ... ...

I_m = 1.65925925925926

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.65925925925926 Ampere --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.65925925925926 ≈ 1.659259 Ampere <-- Meter Current
