Question

The \(\underline{\hspace{3cm}}\) of the galvanometer is reduced by the use of shunt.

• A. Resistance
• B. Current
• C. Voltage
• D. Sensitivity

Hint:

A shunt reduces the current through the galvanometer, thereby reducing its sensitivity to small currents.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The sensitivity of a galvanometer is reduced by the use of a shunt resistor, as it divides the current between the galvanometer and the shunt.
