Solution:

To solve this, we need to determine the shunt resistance (

$R_S$

) required to extend the range of the milliammeter from 10 mA to 1 A.

Key Points:

1. Milliammeter Current and Resistance:
   • Maximum current through the milliammeter coil:
     $I_m = 10 \, \text{mA} = 0.01 \, \text{A}$ 

     ,

   • Resistance of the milliammeter coil:
     $R_m = 1 \, \Omega$ 

     .

2. Total Current for the Ammeter:
   • The total current to be measured by the modified ammeter:
     $I = 1 \, \text{A}$ 

     .

3. Shunt Current:
   • The shunt carries the remaining current,
     $I_S = I - I_m = 1 \, \text{A} - 0.01 \, \text{A} = 0.99 \, \text{A}$ 

     .

4. Voltage Across Shunt and Milliammeter:
   • The shunt is connected in parallel with the milliammeter, so the voltage across them is the same:
     $$V_m = V_S.$$ 
5. Ohm's Law:
   • Voltage across the milliammeter:
     $$V_m = I_m \cdot R_m = 0.01 \cdot 1 = 0.01 \, \text{V}.$$ 
   • Voltage across the shunt:
     $$V_S = I_S \cdot R_S = 0.01 \, \text{V}.$$ 
6. Solve for Shunt Resistance (
   $R_S$ 

   ):

   • From the voltage equation:
     $$R_S = \frac{V_S}{I_S} = \frac{0.01}{0.99} = \frac{1}{99} \, \Omega.$$ 

Final Answer:

The required shunt resistance is:

$$\boxed{\frac{1}{99} \, \Omega}.$$
