A galvanometer of resistance, G, is shunted by a resistance S ohm. To keep the main current in the circuit unchanged, the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D

To keep the main current in the circuit unchanged, the resistance of the galvanometer should be equal to the net resistance.
