Share:
- 1The 13 deflection method cannot be used for determining the resistance of the galvanometer.
- 2The 13 deflection method can be used, and in this case, G equals twice the value of the shunt resistance (S).✓
- 3The 13 deflection method can be used, and in this case, G equals three times the value of the shunt resistance (S).
- 4The 13 deflection method can be used, and in this case, G equals the value of the shunt resistance (S).
Correct answer
The 13 deflection method can be used, and in this case, G equals twice the value of the shunt resistance (S).
