$\mathrm{G}=200 \Omega$

$\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{g}}=20 \mu \mathrm{A}$

$\mathrm{i}=\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{g}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{G}}{\mathrm{S}}+1\right)$

$\Rightarrow 20 \times 10^{-3}=20 \times 10^{-6}\left(\frac{200}{\mathrm{~S}}+1\right)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{200}{\mathrm{~S}}=999$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{S} \approx 0.2 \Omega$
