When a galvanometer is shunted by a resistance $S$, its current capacity increases $n$ times. If the same galvanometer is shunted by another resistance $S'$, its current capacity will increase to $n'$. The value of $n$ in terms of $n'$, $S$, and $S'$ is

  • A
    $n' S' / S$
  • B
    $1 + (n' - 1) S' / S$
  • C
    $1 + (n' - 1) S / S'$
  • D
    $n' S / S'$
