In a circuit,$5$ percent of the total current passes through a galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$,then the value of the shunt is:

  • A
    $19\, G$
  • B
    $20\, G$
  • C
    $\frac{G}{20}$
  • D
    $\frac{G}{19}$

$A$ multirange current meter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in the figure. We want a current meter that can measure $10 \text{ mA}$,$100 \text{ mA}$,and $1 \text{ A}$ using a galvanometer of resistance $10 \text{ } \Omega$ that produces maximum deflection for a current of $1 \text{ mA}$. Find the values of $S_1, S_2$,and $S_3$ that have to be used.
