Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

If only $5\%$ of the total current is to be passed through galvanometer of resistance G, then the resistance of the shunt will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

$S = \frac{I_g G}{I - I_g}$ for a shunt across the galvanometer.
$I_g = 0.05I \Rightarrow S = \frac{0.05G}{0.95} = \frac{G}{19}$
So the answer is (c) $\frac{G}{19}$ .
