resistance, by diminishing the total resist-ance, increases the total current in nearly the same proportionthat the shunt diminishes the galvanometer current. In the latter case the following modification may be em-ployed :—Let the current pass through a stout wire (AB) of Chap. III.] Ohms Law. 247… … Fig. 152. Let us, for example, put in the resistance numbered 999.The circuit is divided into two branches, whose resistances are 999 : 1. Therefore tqaa of the current goes through the 999galvanometer, and -tkk^ through the stout wire. Again, the total resistance of main wire (AB) and shunt(AGB)…
