A galvanometer of resistance \(40 \Omega\) gives a deflection of 10 divisions per \(\mathrm{mA}\). There are 50 divisions on the scale. Maximum current that can pass through it when a shunt resistance of \(2 \Omega\) is connected is

  1. A \(105 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  2. B \(155 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  3. C \(210 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  4. D \(75 \mathrm{~mA}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(105 \mathrm{~mA}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, galvanometer resistance, \(R_G=40 \Omega\) Shunt resistance, \(R_\lambda=2 \Omega\) Reading \(=10 \mathrm{div} / \mathrm{mA}\) and number of divisions, \(n=50\) \(\therefore\) Galvanometer current, \(I_G=\frac{50}{10}=5 \mathrm{~mA}\) Let shunt current be \(I\).…
