A galvanometer of resistance `G` is shunted by a resistance `S ohm`. To keep the main current in the circuit uncharged, the resistnace to be put in series with the galvonmeter

A

`(G^2)/((S + G))`

B

`(G)/((S + G))`

C

`(S^2)/((S + G))`

D

`(SG)/((S + G))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A


`G = (GS)/(G + S) + R`
`R = (G^2)/(G + S)`.
