Purpose:
The purpose of this activity is to perform several experiments using resistors
in order to understand their nature and familiarize ourselves with the lab equipment
such as the multimeter.

A coil 4.40 cm in radius, containing 460 turns, is
placed in a uniform magnetic field that varies with time
according to
B=( 1.20x10-2 T/s)t+(2.95x10-5 T/s4 )t¹. The
coil is connected to a 680 2 resistor, and its plane is
perpendicular to the magnetic field. You can ignore the
resistance of the coil.

A galvanometer with a internal resistance of 400 and a shunt resistor of value
'Rsh' is connected in series with a 100 resistor. A constant voltage VO' is applied
aoross the oircuit, and the galvanometer deflects a certain amount. The shunt
resistor is then removed, and replaced in series with the 100 resistor. With
the same voltage 'VO', the galvanometer deflection is unchanged.
Calculate the value 'Rsh' of the shunt resistor.
