Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

Only $4\%$ of the total current in the circuit passes through a galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$ , then the shunt resistance connected to the galvanometer is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

$S = \frac{I_g G}{I - I_g}$ for a shunt across the galvanometer.
$I_g = 0.04I \Rightarrow S = \frac{0.04G}{0.96} = \frac{G}{24}$
So the answer is (b) $\frac{G}{24}$ .
