The defletion in moving coil galvanometer falls from 50 divisions to 10 divisions, when a shunt of \(12 \Omega\) is connected with it. The resistance of galvanometer coil is _________.

  1. A \(6 \Omega\)
  2. B \(48 \Omega\)
  3. C \(24 \Omega\)
  4. D \(12 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(48 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

B
\(S=\frac{G}{n-1}\)
\(\begin{aligned} \therefore & G = S (n-1) \\ \therefore & G =12(5-1) \\ \therefore & \quad\left(\because n=\frac{50}{10}=5\right) \\ \therefore & =48 \Omega\end{aligned}\)
