A) \[1\,\Omega \]
B) \[2\,\,\Omega \]
C) \[1.2\,\,\Omega \]
D) \[2.2\,\,\Omega \]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Key Idea: The voltage across shunt is same to that across galvanometer. Shunt is a low resistance used in parallel with the galvanometer to make it ammeter. The circuit is shown in figure. Voltage across galvanometer = voltage across shunt i.e., \[{{i}_{g}}G=(i-{{i}_{g}})S\] or \[S=\frac{{{i}_{g}}G}{i-{{i}_{g}}}\] Given, \[G=22.8\,\Omega ,i=20A,{{i}_{g}}=1A\] \[\therefore \] \[S=\frac{1\times 22.8}{20-1}=\frac{22.8}{19}=1.2\,\Omega \]You need to login to perform this action.
