$\mathrm{G}=50\, \Omega$,   $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{G}}=100\, \mu \mathrm{A}$,    $\mathrm{I}=10\, \mathrm{A}$

Shunt, $\mathrm{S}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{G}}}{\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{G}}}\right) \mathrm{G}$

$\Rightarrow $   $\mathrm{S}=\left(\frac{100 \times 10^{-6}}{10-100 \times 10^{-6}}\right) \times 50$

$=\frac{10^{-4}}{10} \times 50=5 \times 10^{-4}\,\Omega$
