What is shunt? Obtain the formula for the shunt. |
Answer» Solution :1. LOW value RESISTOR connected across GALVANOMETER is known as shunt. Equation of shunt : 2. Resistance of galvanometer be `R_(G)` and current flowing through it is `I_(G)`. 3. Resistance of shunt be `r_(s)` and current flowing through it is `(I-I_(G))`. 4. Apply Kirchhoff.s law in LOOP, A-B-C-D-A, `-I_(G)R_(G)+r_(s)(I-I_(G))=0` `thereforer_(s)=(R_(G)I_(G))/((I-I_(G)))` (I = current capacity of ammeter, `I_(G)` = current capacity of galvanometer) |
