Application +4 | -1
A galvanometer has resistance 500 ohm. It is shunted so that its sensitivity decreases by 100 times. Find the shunt resistance.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
5.05 Ω5.05\,\Omega
Option C (5.05 Ω5.05\,\Omega) is correct because the shunt resistance is calculated using the formula S=Gn−1S = \frac{G}{{n - 1}}, where G is the galvanometer resistance and n is the factor by which sensitivity decreases.
