No links please Q. A galvanometer of resistance 45 ohm, shunted with a resistance of 5 ohm is joined in series with a resistance of 84 ohm and a battery of e.m.f. 4.5 volt having internal resistance 1.5ohm. Find the current passing through (a) the battery, (b) the galvanometer, and (c) the shunt. Share with your friends Share 3 Sanjay Upadhyay answered this Dear student Potential difference through R1 in a circuit where R1, R2, R3 are in series is given by VR1=V×R1R1+R2+R3a) PD across the battery= 4.5×1.54.5+5+84+1.5=0.071VNow current through battery I=VR⇒I=0.0711.5=0.0473Ab) PD across the galvanometer= 4.5×454.5+5+84+1.5=2.13VNow current through the galvenometer I=VR⇒I=2.1345=0.0473Ab) PD across the shunt= 4.5×54.5+5+84+1.5=0.216VNow current through shunt I=VR⇒I=0.2365=0.0473ASince all the components are in series hence current is same for all.
