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)/((S+G))`

B

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

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4


Total current remains same only when total resistance remains same
`G=(GS)/(G+S)+x rArrx=(G^(2))/(G+S)`
