When a shunt of $4\,\Omega$ is attached to a galvanometer,the deflection reduces to $\frac{1}{5}$th of its initial value. If an additional shunt of $4\,\Omega$ is attached in parallel to the first,what will be the new deflection?

  • A
    $\frac{I}{13}$
  • B
    $\frac{I}{11}$
  • C
    $\frac{I}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{I}{3}$

In an experiment to determine the figure of merit of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a student constructed the following circuit. He unplugged a resistance of $5200 \ \Omega$ in $R$. When $K_1$ is closed and $K_2$ is open,the deflection observed in the galvanometer is $26 \ \text{div}$. When $K_2$ is also closed and a resistance of $90 \ \Omega$ is removed in $S$,the deflection becomes $13 \ \text{div}$. The resistance of the galvanometer is nearly: (in $\Omega$)

The ratio of heats generated through shunt and galvanometer is $7: 5$ when they are connected to make an ammeter. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $112 \Omega$,then the resistance of the shunt is: (in $\Omega$)
