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^(2)/( S + G)`

B

`G/(S +G)`

C

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

D

`(SG)/(S + G)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A


`G = ((GS)/(G + S)) + S^(.)`
`rArr S = G -(GS)/99 rArr S. = G^(2)/(G + S.)`
