Problem

In a circuit for finding the resistance of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a 6 V battery and a high resistance of 11kΩ11\text{k}\Omega are used. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is 60μA/division60\mu\text{A/division}. In the absence of shunt resistance, the galvanometer produces a deflection of θ=9\theta = 9 divisions when current flows in the circuit. What value of shunt resistance will cause the deflection to become θ/2\theta/2? a. 55Ω55\Omega b. 110Ω110\Omega c. 220Ω220\Omega d. 550Ω550\Omega
