A

`1/3` deflection method cannot be used for determining the resistance of the galvanometer.

B

`1/3` deflection method can be used and in this case the G equals to twice the value of shunt resistance(s).

C

`1/3` deflection method can be used and in this case, the G equals to three times the value of shunt resistance(s).

D

`1/3` deflection method can be used and in this case the G value equals to the shunt resistance(s).

The correct Answer is:
To determine the resistance \( G \) of a galvanometer using the 1/3 deflection method, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Setup**: The galvanometer has a resistance \( G \) and is connected in a circuit with a known resistance \( S \). The current flowing through the circuit causes a deflection in the galvanometer. 2. **Deflection Condition**: For a galvanometer, the deflection \( \theta \) is proportional to the current \( I_g \) flowing through it. The relationship can be expressed as: \[ \frac{I_g}{I} = \frac{S}{S + G} \] where \( I \) is the total current in the circuit. 3. **Using the 1/3 Deflection**: Given that the deflection is \( \frac{1}{3} \), we can set up the equation: \[ \frac{I_g}{I} = \frac{1}{3} \] This implies: \[ \frac{S}{S + G} = \frac{1}{3} \] 4. **Cross-Multiplying**: Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 3S = S + G \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging the equation results in: \[ G = 3S - S = 2S \] 6. **Conclusion**: Thus, the resistance \( G \) of the galvanometer is twice the resistance \( S \) of the standard resistor used in the circuit. ### Final Result: The correct statement regarding the measurement of \( G \) using the 1/3 deflection method is: \[ G = 2S \]
