To find the resistance of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,the experimental data obtained are given in the table below:
$S. No.$Resistance $R \ (\Omega)$Deflection $(\theta)$Shunt $S \ (\Omega)$Half deflection $(\theta / 2)$Galvanometer resistance $(G)$
$1$$3300$$30$$80$$15$$G_1$
$2$$5000$$20$$80$$10$$G_2$

From the above data,the galvanometer resistance $G$ will be near to: (in $\Omega$)

  • A
    $20$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $50$
  • D
    $80$
