The resistance of a galvanometer is $90\, \Omega$. If only $10\%$ of the main current is to flow through the galvanometer,how should a resistor be connected and what should be its value?

  • A
    $10\, \Omega$ in series
  • B
    $10\, \Omega$ in parallel
  • C
    $810\, \Omega$ in series
  • D
    $810\, \Omega$ in parallel
