In a circuit for finding the resistance of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a 
battery and a high resistance of 
are used. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is 
division. In the absence of shunt resistance, the galvanometer produces a deflection of 
divisions when current flows in the circuit. The value of the shunt resistance that can cause the deflection of
