The sensitivity of a galvanometer is 60 division/A. When a shunt is used, its sensitivity becomes 10 division/A. If the galvanometer is of resistance \(20 \Omega\), the value of shunt used is

  1. A \(4 \Omega\)
  2. B \(5 \Omega\)
  3. C \(20 \Omega\)
  4. D \(2 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(i_g=i\left(\frac{S}{G+S}\right)\) where \(i=\) total current Sensitivity \(=\frac{i_g}{i}=\frac{10}{60}=\frac{1}{6}\) \(\therefore \quad \frac{1}{6}=\frac{S}{G+S}\)…
