In a galvanometer \(5 \%\) of the total current in the circuit passes through it. If the resistance of the galvanometer is \(G\), the shunt resistance \(S\) connected to the galvanometer is

  1. A \(19 G\)
  2. B \(\frac{G}{19}\)
  3. C \(20 G\)
  4. D \(\frac{G}{20}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{G}{19}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Shunt of an ammeter, \[ S=\frac{I_g \times G}{I-I_g} \] \(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{5 \times G}{100-5} \\ & =\frac{G}{19}\end{aligned}\)
