A galvanometer of resistance is shunted by a resistance of . The fraction of main current that passes through shunt is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Let the main current be , the current through the shunt be , and the current through the galvanometer be .
Since the galvanometer and the shunt are connected in parallel, the potential difference across them is equal.
Using , we can write .
Given and :
