A \(72 \; \Omega\) galvanometer is shunted by a resistance of \(8 \; \Omega\). The percentage of the total current which passes through the galvanometer is \(.....\)

  1. A \(0.1\)
  2. B \(10\)
  3. C \(25\)
  4. D \(0.25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(S=\frac{R_{G}}{\frac{I}{I_{g}}-1}\) \(8=\frac{72}{\frac{I}{I_{g}}-1}\) \(\frac{I}{I_{g}}-1=9\) \(\frac{I}{I_{g}}=10 \Rightarrow \frac{I_{g}}{I}=\frac{1}{10} \quad \% I=\frac{I_{g}}{I} \times 100=10 \%\)
