COMEDK · Physics · 19. Current Electricity

A certain current on passing through a galvanometer produces a deflection of 100 divisions. When a shunt of one ohm is connected, then the deflection reduces to 1 division. The galvanometer resistance is

  1. A \(100 \Omega\)
  2. B \(99 \Omega\)
  3. C \(10 \Omega\)
  4. D \(9.9 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(99 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, shunt resistance, \(R_{S}=1 \Omega\) Total current, \(I=100 \mathrm{~A}\) Galvanometer current, \(I_{g}=1 \mathrm{~A}\) We know that,…
