If the inductance and capacitance of a system are 1 H and 0·01 μF respectively and the instantaneous value of current interrupted is 10 amps. The value of shunt resistance across the breaker for critical damping is ________ kΩ

1. 0.5
2. 0.05
3. 5
4. 5.05

Correct Option: C

For critical damping,

R = 0.5 √	L	= 0.5√	1	= 5 kΩ
	C		0.01 × 10^-6
