A galvanometer of resistance \(76 \Omega\) gives full scale deflection when only \(5 \%\) of total current passes through it. The value of shunt is :

  1. A \(2 \Omega\)
  2. B \(4 \Omega\)
  3. C \(1.9 \Omega\)
  4. D \(3.8 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_g = 0.05 I\) \(I_s = I - I_g = 0.95 I\) \(I_g R_g = I_s R_s\) \(0.05 I \times 76 = 0.95 I \times R_s\) \(R_s = \frac{0.05 \times 76}{0.95} = 4 \, \Omega\)
