JEE Main2013PhysicsCurrent ElectricityActual
A shunt of resistance 1 ~ is connected across a galvanometer of 120 ~ resistance. A current of 5.5 ampere gives full scale deflection in the galvanometer. The current that will give full scale deflection in the absence of the shunt is nearly :
Options
- A5.5 ampere
- B0.5 ampere
- C0.004 ampere
- D0.045 ampere
Correct answer
D. 0.045 ampere
Step-by-step solution
The current that will given full scale deflection in the absence of the shunt is nearly equal to the current through the galvanometer when shunt is connected i.e. I _ g As I_g= I S G+S = 5.5 1 120+1 =0.045 ampere
