A galvanometer coil has a resistance of ...

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.

To solve the problem of finding the resistance of the shunt in a galvanometer, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Circuit**: - We have a galvanometer with a resistance \( R_g = 100 \, \Omega \). - A total current \( I \) flows through the circuit, where 1% of this current flows through the galvanometer and 99% flows through the shunt. ...
