The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the combined resistance of the shunt and the galvanometer, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Resistance of the galvanometer (G) = 3663 ohms - Current through the galvanometer (Ig) = 1/34 of total current (I) - Shunt resistance (S) = 111 ohms (as calculated in the previous question) 2. **Understanding the Circuit Configuration:** - The shunt (S) and galvanometer (G) are connected in parallel. 3. **Formula for Equivalent Resistance in Parallel:** - The formula for the equivalent resistance (R_eq) of two resistances in parallel is given by: \[ \frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{S} + \frac{1}{G} \] - This can be rearranged to: \[ R_{eq} = \frac{S \cdot G}{S + G} \] 4. **Substituting the Values:** - Substitute S = 111 ohms and G = 3663 ohms into the formula: \[ R_{eq} = \frac{111 \cdot 3663}{111 + 3663} \] 5. **Calculating the Denominator:** - Calculate \( S + G \): \[ 111 + 3663 = 3774 \] 6. **Calculating the Numerator:** - Calculate \( S \cdot G \): \[ 111 \cdot 3663 = 406653 \] 7. **Final Calculation of Equivalent Resistance:** - Now, substitute the values back into the equation: \[ R_{eq} = \frac{406653}{3774} \approx 107.7 \text{ ohms} \] 8. **Conclusion:** - The combined resistance of the shunt and the galvanometer is approximately 107.7 ohms. ### Final Answer: The combined resistance of the shunt and the galvanometer is **107.7 ohms**.
