$A$ $50\,\Omega$ resistance is connected to a battery of $5\,V$. $A$ galvanometer of resistance $100\,\Omega$ is to be used as an ammeter to measure current through the resistance. For this,a resistance $r_s$ is connected to the galvanometer. Which of the following connections should be employed if the measured current is within $1\%$ of the current without the ammeter in the circuit?

  • A
    $r_s = 0.5\,\Omega$ in series with the galvanometer
  • B
    $r_s = 1\,\Omega$ in series with the galvanometer
  • C
    $r_s = 1\,\Omega$ in parallel with the galvanometer
  • D
    $r_s = 0.5\,\Omega$ in parallel with the galvanometer
