A galvanometer of resistance, $G,$ is shunted by a resistance $S$ $ohm$. To keep the main current in the circuit unchanged, the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer is
  • A$\frac{G}{{S + G}}$
  • B$\frac{{{S^2}}}{{S + G}}$
  • C$\frac{{SG}}{{S + G}}$
  • D$\frac{{{G^2}}}{{S + G}}$

    Two infinitely long straight wires lie in the $\mathrm{xy}$-plane along the lines $\mathrm{x}=+R$. The wire located at $\mathrm{x}=+\mathrm{R}$ carries a constant current $\mathrm{I}_1$ and the wire located at $\mathrm{x}=-R$ carries a constant current $\mathrm{I}_2$. A circular loop of radius $R$ is suspended with its centre at $(0,0, \sqrt{3} R)$ and in a plane parallel to the xy-plane. This loop carries a constant current $/$ in the clockwise direction as seen from above the loop. The current in the wire is taken to be positive if it is in the $+\hat{\mathrm{j}}$ direction. Which of the following statements regarding the magnetic field $\dot{B}$ is (are) true?

    $(A)$ If $I_1=I_2$, then B' cannot be equal to zero at the origin $(0,0,0)$

    $(B)$ If $\mathrm{I}_1>0$ and $\mathrm{I}_2<0$, then $\mathrm{B}$ can be equal to zero at the origin $(0,0,0)$

    $(C)$ If $\mathrm{I}_1<0$ and $\mathrm{I}_2>0$, then $\mathrm{B}$ can be equal to zero at the origin $(0,0,0)$

    $(D)$ If $\mathrm{I}_1=\mathrm{I}_2$, then the $\mathrm{z}$-component of the magnetic field at the centre of the loop is $\left(-\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{R}}\right)$
