Question:

A moving coil galvanometer has a resistance of 900 Ω. In order to send only 10% of the main current through this galvanometer, what is the resistance of the required shunt? 

Options:

100Ω

10Ω

1000Ω

Correct Answer:

100Ω

Explanation:

Shunt resistance, S = IgG/I

where I= Galvanometer current, G = Galvanometer resistance and  I= Current sensitivity
