Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 288

Question: A 100 ohm galvanometer gives full scale deflection at 10 mA. How much shunt is required to read 100 mA

[MP PET 2002]

Options:

A) 11.11 ohm

B) 9.9 ohm

C) 1.1 ohm

D) 4.4 ohm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ i _{g}=i\frac{S}{G+S} $

Therefore $ 10\times {{10}^{-3}}=\frac{S}{100+S}\times 100\times {{10}^{-3}} $

$ 90\ S=1000\Rightarrow $

$ S=\frac{1000}{90}=11.11\ \Omega $ .
