Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.20 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{G}=200 \Omega\)

\(\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{g}}=20 \mu \mathrm{A}\)

\(\mathrm{i}=\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{g}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{G}}{\mathrm{S}}+1\right)\)

\(\Rightarrow 20 \times 10^{-3}=20 \times 10^{-6}\left(\frac{200}{\mathrm{~S}}+1\right)\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{200}{\mathrm{~S}}=999\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{S} \approx 0.2 \Omega\)
