$A$ galvanometer coil of resistance $50 \,\Omega$ shows full-scale deflection for a current of $100 \,\mu A$. The shunt resistance to be added to the galvanometer to convert it into an ammeter of range $10 \, mA$ is:

  • A
    $5 \,\Omega$ in parallel
  • B
    $0.5 \,\Omega$ in series
  • C
    $5 \,\Omega$ in series
  • D
    $0.5 \,\Omega$ in parallel
