To know the resistance G of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a battery of emf VE and resistance R is used to deflect the galvanometer by angle θ. If a shunt of resistance S is needed to get half deflection then G,R and S are related by the equation :
(1)2S(R+G)=RG
(2)S(R+G)=RG
(3)2S=G
(4)2G=S
