The sensitivity of a galvanometer is 60 division/A. When a shunt is used, its sensitivity becomes 10 division/A. If the galvanometer is of resistance 20 , the value of shunt used is
Options
- A4
- B5
- C20
- D2
Correct answer
A. 4
Step-by-step solution
We have, i_g=i ( S G+S ) where i= total current Sensitivity = i_g i = 10 60 = 1 6 1 6 = S G+S array ll & G+S=6 S & G=5 S or S= G 5 & S= 20 5 =4 ( G=20 ) array
