  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{G}}{49} \Omega\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{G}}{2} \Omega\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mathrm{G}}{99} \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: \(I_g=\frac{1}{100} I\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}}}=100 \\
& \quad \mathrm{~S}=\frac{\mathrm{GI}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{I}_8}=\frac{\mathrm{G}}{\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}}}-1} .
\end{aligned}\)
Substituting, (i) intó (ii),
\(\mathrm{S}=\frac{\mathrm{G}}{100-1}=\frac{\mathrm{G}}{99}\)
