Question

A galvanometer having a resistance 98 oham is shunted by a wire of resistance 2 oham. If the total current is 1A,find current through the shunt.

Answer 1

Hey dear,

◆ Answer-

Is = 0.98 A

◆ Explanation-

# Given-

G = 98 ohm

S = 2 ohm

I = 1 A

# Solution-

Current flowing through shunt of galvanometer is given by -

Is = IG / (G+S)

Is = 1 × 98 / (98 + 2)

Is = 0.98 A

Current flowing through sbunt resistance of galvanometer is 0.98 A.

Hope this is helpful...
