The combinant resistance of a galvanometer of resistance` 500 Omega `and its shunt is `25 Omega`. What is the value of the shunt?

A

`(100)/19 Omega`

B

`(19)/(500)Omega`

C

`(300)/19Omega`

D

`(500)/19Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`1/s=1/25-1/(500) therefore s= (500)/(19) Omega`
