4. A meter has a resistance of 100 and gives a full scale deflection when it carries
a current of 25 A. (a) What resistor, Rx, would you connect in parallel with this
meter in order to construct an ammeter which gives a full-scale deflection for a
current of 50 mA? (b) What is the equivalent resistance for this ammeter?
