JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

A teacher in his physics laboratory allotted an experiment to determine the resistance \((G)\) of a galvanometer. Students took the observations for \(\frac{1}{3}\) deflection in the galvanometer. Which of the below is true for measuring value of \(G\) \(?\)

  1. A \(\frac{1}{3}\) deflection method cannot be used for determining the resistance of the galvanometer.
  2. B \(\frac{1}{3}\) deflection method can be used and in this case the \(G\) equals to twice the value of shunt resistance\((s).\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{3}\) deflection method can be used and in this case, the \(G\) equals to three times the value of shunt resistance\((s)\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}\) deflection method can be used and in this case the \(G\) value equals to the shunt resistance\((s).\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{3}\) deflection method can be used and in this case the \(G\) equals to twice the value of shunt resistance\((s).\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Rightarrow\left( I - I _{ g }\right) S = I _{ g } G\) \(\frac{I_{g}}{I}=\frac{S}{S+G}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}=\frac{S}{S+G} \Rightarrow S+G=3 S \Rightarrow G=2 S\)
