$A$ galvanometer of resistance $G$ is shunted by a resistance $S$. To keep the main current in the circuit unchanged,what value of resistance should be connected in series with the galvanometer?

  • A
    $\frac{G^2}{S + G}$
  • B
    $\frac{G}{S + G}$
  • C
    $\frac{S^2}{S + G}$
  • D
    $\frac{SG}{S + G}$
