If only $2 \%$ of the main current is to be passed through a galvanometer of resistance $G$,then the resistance of the shunt connected to it will be:

  • A
    $G / 50$
  • B
    $50 \ G$
  • C
    $49 \ G$
  • D
    $G / 49$

The resistance of a galvanometer coil is $R$. What is the shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of range $4$ times?

$A$ galvanometer has resistance $G \ \Omega$ and $I_g$ is the current flowing through it which produces full-scale deflection. $S_1$ is the value of the shunt which converts it into an ammeter of range $0$ to $3I$,and $S_2$ is the shunt value which converts it into an ammeter of range $0$ to $4I$. The ratio $S_2:S_1$ is:

$A$ 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?

In an ammeter, $0.2\%$ of the main current passes through the galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$, the resistance of the ammeter will be

If only $2\%$ of the main current is to be passed through a galvanometer of resistance $G$,then the resistance of the shunt will be
