A galvanometer having a resistance of \( 8 \, \Omega \) is shunted by a wire of resistance \( 2 \, \Omega \). If the current is 1 A, the part of it passing through the shunt will be:

  1. A 0.25 A
  2. B 0.78 A
  3. C 0.2 A
  4. D 0.8 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.8 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( I_s = I \frac{R_g}{R_g + R_s} \) \( I_s = 1 \, A \times \frac{8 \, \Omega}{8 \, \Omega + 2 \, \Omega} \) \( I_s = 1 \times \frac{8}{10} = 0.8 \, A \)
