Which of the following is connected to the coil of the galvanometer, to protect it from possible damages due to large current? |
High resistance wire in parallel Low resistance wire in parallel High resistance wire in series Low resistance wire in series |
Low resistance wire in parallel |
The correct answer is Option (2) → Low resistance wire in parallel Low resistance wire in parallel is used because it will be able to draw almost all of the current and thus the galvanometer will be protected from large current. |
