$A$ moving coil galvanometer has $50$ turns and each turn has an area $2 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$. The magnetic field produced by the magnet inside the galvanometer is $0.02 \ T$. The torsional constant of the suspension wire is $10^{-4} \ N \ m \ rad^{-1}$. When a current flows through the galvanometer,a full-scale deflection occurs if the coil rotates by $0.2 \ rad$. The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer is $50 \ \Omega$. This galvanometer is to be converted into an ammeter capable of measuring current in the range $0-1.0 \ A$. For this purpose,a shunt resistance is to be added in parallel to the galvanometer. The value of this shunt resistance,in ohms,is:

  • A
    $5.40$
  • B
    $5.50$
  • C
    $5.56$
  • D
    $5.60$
