. Hence the comparison of large with smallcurrents will be somewhat inaccurate. This leads us to alittle different method. Place a resistance box A in thegalvanometer circuit. Pass current C*, through A />, causinga potential difference P />,, and sending through (7 a current where j,- is the… … it by a tangent galvanometer or by the electrolytic cell, thequantity Q 4 (^2 -f g) would be known. Call it K the constant of the shunt. -Thenwe have the general formula for the shunt that the currentwhose value we desire is equal to Now, by using- the resistance box, and by adjusting it to June.…
