The value of shunt resistance, that allows only \(10 \%\) of main current through the galvanometer of resistance \(99 \Omega\) is

  1. A \(9 \Omega\)
  2. B \(4 \Omega\)
  3. C \(2 \Omega\)
  4. D \(11 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(11 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{G}=99 \Omega, \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{1}{10}\) \(\therefore \quad\) From figure, \(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}} \cdot \mathrm{G}=\left(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}\right) \mathrm{S}\)…
