    A galvanometer of resistance \[20\Omega \] shows a deflection of 10 divisions when a current of 1 mA is passed through it. If a shunt of\[4\,\Omega \] is connected and there are 50 divisions on the scale, the range of the galvanometer is

    A)  1 A                                        

    B)  3 A                        

    C)  10 mA                 

    D)         30 A

    E)  30 mA

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Current for 50 divisions, \[{{I}_{g}}=\frac{1\times 50}{10}=5\,mA\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{I}_{g}}}{I}=\frac{S}{S+G}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=\left( \frac{S+G}{S} \right){{I}_{g}}\] Or           \[I=\left( \frac{4+20}{4} \right)5mA=30\,mA\]
