A certain current on passing through a galvanometer produces a deflection of 100 divisions. When a shunt of one ohm is connected, the deflection reduces to 1 division. The galvanometer resistance is

  1. A \(100 \Omega\)
  2. B \(99 \Omega\)
  3. C \(10 \Omega\)
  4. D \(9.9 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(99 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Shunt is connected to the galvanometer
\(\begin{aligned}i_{g} &=\frac{i S}{S+G} \\1 &=\frac{100 \times 1}{(1+G)} \\G &=99 \Omega\end{aligned}\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad G=99 \Omega\)
