    To send 10% of the main current through a moving coil galvanometer of resistance 99 ohm, the shunt required is:

    A)  10 ohm

    B)  9.9 ohm

    C)  9 ohm

    D)  11 ohm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Using the relation for shunt resistance                  \[S=\frac{{{i}_{g}}}{i-{{i}_{g}}}\times G\]              ...(1) Where S = resistance of shunt G = resistance of galvanometer i = total current \[{{i}_{g}}\]= current for full scale deflection in (galvanometer) Here \[{{i}_{g}}=\frac{10}{100}i=\frac{i}{10}G=99\Omega ,\,\,\,S=?\] From eqn. (1) \[S=\frac{i\times 99}{10\left( i-\frac{i}{10} \right)}=\frac{99}{10\times \frac{9}{10}}=11\Omega \]
