A galvanometer of resistance 100ohms is shunted so that only 1//11 of the main current flows through the galvanometer. The resistance of the shunt is

When a galvanometer with a shunt is joined in an electrical circuit 2% of the total current passes through the galvanometer. Resistance of galvanometer is G. Find the value of shunt.

When a galvanometer of resistance G is shunted with a low resistance S, then the effective resistance R_(eff) of galvanometer becomes R_(eff)=(GS)/(G+S) If current is passed through such a galvanometer, then the major amount of current flows through shunt and the rest through galvanometer, i.e., the current divides itself in the inverse ratio of resistance. Read the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) Why is the resistance of shunted galvanometer lower than that of shunt? (ii) A galvanometer of resistance 30Omega is shunted by a resistance of 3Omega . What fraction of the main current passes (i) through the galvanometer and (ii) through the shunt? (iii) What are the basic values you learn from the above study?
