Which of the following is connected to the coil of the galvanometer, to protect it from possible damages due to large current?

  1. A High resistance wire in parallel
  2. B Low resistance wire in parallel
  3. C High resistance wire in series
  4. D Low resistance wire in series
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Low resistance wire in parallel

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A shunt (low resistance wire) is connected in parallel with the galvanometer coil to provide an alternate low-resistance path, allowing most of the large current to bypass the sensitive coil and preventing thermal damage. B) Low resistance wire in parallel.
