The formula for calculating the value of the shunt resistance is:

S=IgI-IgG

In this case, the galvanometer has a coil resistance of 100Ω and gives a full-scale deflection when a current of 1mA is passed through it. To convert it into an ammeter that can measure a maximum current of 10A, we have:

Ig=1mA=0.001A

I=10A

G=100Ω

substituting the values,

S=0.00110-0.001×100

S=0.01Ω

Hence the correct answer is 0.01Ω.
