Q16 / 16 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Experimental Physics

To measure the resistance of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a shunt is connected to the galvanometer. The shunt is

  • Correct answer
    A
    low resistance connected in parallel
  • B
    low resistance connected in series
  • C
    high resistance connected in parallel
  • D
    high resistance connected in series

Solution

Shunt is a low resistance connected in parallel to galvanometer so that most of the current passes through the shunt.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
