An ammeter design requires that only 
of the main current pass through the galvanometer. How much current passes through the shunt resistance?
A
I
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
If current is I then current passes through the galvanometer is 
of 
So, current passes through shunt
