What is the value of the shunt that passes `10%` of the main current through a galvenomenter of `99 Omega`?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the value of the shunt resistance that allows 10% of the main current to pass through a galvanometer with a resistance of 99 ohms, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Current Distribution**: - Let the total main current be \( I \). - According to the problem, 10% of this current passes through the galvanometer. Therefore, the current through the galvanometer \( I_G = 0.1 I \). - The remaining current, which passes through the shunt resistance \( S \), is \( I_S = 0.9 I \). ...
