The deflection in moving coil galvanometer falls from 25 divisions to 5 division when a shunt of 24 Ω is applied. The resistance of galvanometer coil will be:
Options
- A12 Ω
- B96 Ω
- C48 Ω
- D100 Ω
Correct answer
B. 96 Ω
Step-by-step solution
Let x represents the current per division though the galvanometer. After applying shunt Now, if G is the galvanometer resistance, from the above figure, it can be written that 5 x × G = 20 x × 24 ⇒ G = 4 × 24 ⇒ G = 96 Ω
