To know the resistance G of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a battery of emf V E and resistance R…
Solution
Let resistance is connected with galvanometer of resistance , than

Now, as shown below figure a shunt is connected in parallel with the galvanometer for half deflection in it, that is , than

As, shunt and galvanometer are in parallel then
On, substituting the values of and in above equation
