A moving coil galvanometer of resistance 100 \(\Omega\) shows full scale deflection when a current of 100 micro-amperes passes through it. If it is intended to show full scale deflection when a current of 1 milliampere passes through it, the value of shunt resistance in ohms to be connected to the galvanometer is.

  1. A \(\frac{9}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{10}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{100}{9}\)
  4. D \(\frac{900}{7}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{100}{9}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Resistance of galvanometer \[ \begin{gathered} G=100 \Omega \\ I_g=100 \mu \mathrm{A}=100 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~A}=0.1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A} \\ I=1 \mathrm{~mA}=1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A} \end{gathered} \] Shunt resistance…
