A galvanometer measures current which passes through it. A galanometer can measure typically carrent of order of mA. To be able to measure currents of the order of amperes of main current, a shunt resistance 'S' is connected in parallel with galvanometer.
If resistance of galavonometer is `10Omega` and maximum current `i_(g)` is 10mA then the shunt resistance required so that the main current 'I' can be upto 1A is (in `Omega`)

A

`(99)/(10)`

B

`(10)/(99)`

C

990

D

`(99)/(1000)`

To find the shunt resistance \( S \) required for the galvanometer to measure a maximum current of 1 A, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Circuit Configuration The galvanometer (with resistance \( G \)) and the shunt resistance \( S \) are connected in parallel. The total current \( I \) splits into two parts: the current through the galvanometer \( I_g \) and the current through the shunt \( I_s \). ### Step 2: Write the Current Relationship According to Kirchhoff's current law, we have: \[ ...
