Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 214

Question: The resistance of a galvanometer is 90 ohms. If only 10 percent of the main current may flow through the galvanometer, in which way and of what value, a resistor is to be used

[MP PET 1996]

Options:

A) 10 ohms in series

B) 10 ohms in parallel

C) 810 ohms in series

D) 810 ohms in parallel

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Q $ i _{g}=10% $ of $ i=\frac{i}{10} $

Therefore $ S=\frac{G}{(n-1)}=\frac{90}{(10-1)}=10\Omega $
