What is shunt? State its uses. Find the relation for the current through shunt in terms of resistance of galvanometer and shunt.

A galvanometer of resistance 100ohms is shunted so that only 1//11 of the main current flows through the galvanometer. The resistance of the shunt is

When a galvanometer of resistance G is shunted with a low resistance S, then the effective resistance R_(eff) of galvanometer becomes R_(eff)=(GS)/(G+S) If current is passed through such a galvanometer, then the major amount of current flows through shunt and the rest through galvanometer, i.e., the current divides itself in the inverse ratio of resistance. Read the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) Why is the resistance of shunted galvanometer lower than that of shunt? (ii) A galvanometer of resistance 30Omega is shunted by a resistance of 3Omega . What fraction of the main current passes (i) through the galvanometer and (ii) through the shunt? (iii) What are the basic values you learn from the above study?

Consider a galvanometer shunted with 5 Omega resistance and 2% of current passes through it. What is the resistance of the given galvanometer ?

A galvanometer coil has a resistance of 100 Omega . When a current passes through the galvanometer, 1% of the current goes through the coil and the rest through the shunt. Find the resistance of the shunt.

In a galvanometer, 5% of the total current in the circuit passes through it. if the resistance of galvanometer is G, the shunt resistance S connected to galvanometer is

The value of shunt to be used to pass 1//10th of the total current through a galvanometer of resistance 100Omega is
