In an ammeter, $4 \%$ of the main current is passing through the galvanometer. If shunt resistance is $5 \Omega,$ then resistance of galvanometer will be

EASY
MHT-CET
IMPORTANT

Assertion: In a shunted galvanometer, only $10 \%$ current passes through the galvanometer. The resistance of the galvanometer is G. Then the resistance of the shunt is G9  .

Reason: If $\mathrm{S}$ is the resistance of the shunt, then voltage across S and G is same.

Assertion: Higher the range, greater is the resistance of ammeter.

Reason: To increase the range of ammeter, additional shunt needs to be used across it.
