A moving coil galvanometer has a resistance of `990Omega.` in order to send only `10%` of the main currect through this galvanometer, the resistance of the required shunt is

A

`0.9Omega`

B

`100Omega`

C

`405Omega`

D

`90Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`I_(s)=0.1I,I_(s)=0.9I,S=I_(s)G//I_(s)`
`=0.1xx900//0.9=100Omega`
