When a galvanometer is shunted by a resistance $s$,its current capacity increases $n$ times. If the same galvanometer is shunted by another resistance $s_1$,its capacity will increase to $n_1$ times the original current. The value of $n_1$ is

  • A
    $\frac{(n+s)}{s_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{s_1(n-s)-s_1}{s_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{(n+1)s}{s_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{s(n-1)+s_1}{s_1}$
