The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the currents through the galvanometer (I1), the shunt (I2), and the total current (I3). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Resistances**: - Resistance of the galvanometer (Rg) = 100 Ω - Resistance of the shunt (Rs) = 10 Ω 2. **Understanding the Current Relationships**: - The current through the galvanometer is denoted as I1. - The current through the shunt is denoted as I2. - The total current entering the combination is denoted as I3. 3. **Using the Current Division Rule**: - The current through the galvanometer (I1) can be expressed in terms of the total current (I3) using the formula: \[ I1 = \frac{Rs}{Rs + Rg} \cdot I3 \] - Substituting the values: \[ I1 = \frac{10}{10 + 100} \cdot I3 = \frac{10}{110} \cdot I3 = \frac{1}{11} \cdot I3 \] 4. **Finding the Current through the Shunt (I2)**: - The current through the shunt (I2) can be calculated using: \[ I2 = I3 - I1 \] - Substituting I1 from the previous step: \[ I2 = I3 - \frac{1}{11} I3 = \frac{11}{11} I3 - \frac{1}{11} I3 = \frac{10}{11} I3 \] 5. **Expressing the Ratios**: - Now we have: \[ I1 = \frac{1}{11} I3 \] \[ I2 = \frac{10}{11} I3 \] - To find the ratio \( I1 : I2 : I3 \), we can express everything in terms of I3: \[ I1 : I2 : I3 = \frac{1}{11} I3 : \frac{10}{11} I3 : I3 \] - Dividing each term by I3 gives: \[ I1 : I2 : I3 = \frac{1}{11} : \frac{10}{11} : 1 \] - To eliminate the fractions, we multiply through by 11: \[ I1 : I2 : I3 = 1 : 10 : 11 \] ### Final Answer: The ratio \( I1 : I2 : I3 \) is \( 1 : 10 : 11 \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the currents through the galvanometer (I1), the shunt (I2), and the total current (I3). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Resistances**: - Resistance of the galvanometer (Rg) = 100 Ω - Resistance of the shunt (Rs) = 10 Ω ...
