A teacher in his physics laboratory allotted an experiment to determine the resistance G a galvanometer. Students took the observations for 1 3 deflection in the galvanometer. Which of the below is true for measuring value of G ?
Options
- A1 3 deflection method cannot be used for determining the resistance of the galvanometer.
- B1 3 deflection method can be used and in this case the G equals to twice the value of shunt resistance(s).
- C1 3 deflection method can be used and in this case, the G equals to three times the value of shunt resistance(
- D1 3 deflection method can be used and in this case the G value equals to the shunt resistance(s)
Correct answer
B. 1 3 deflection method can be used and in this case the G equals to twice the value of shunt resistance(s).
Step-by-step solution
If a large resistance R is connected with a battery, then current will be approximately ε R , and t will remain almost constant. In 1 st   case, only G is connected ⇒ i g = i In 2 nd   case, i g R 0 = I - i g S ⇒ i g 2 = S R g + S i If i g 2 = 1 3 i g , ⇒ S R g + S i = 1 3 i R g = 2 S
