In an experiment to determine the figure of merit of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a student constructed the following circuit. He applied a resistance of \( 520 \, \Omega \) in \( R \). When \( K_1 \) is closed and \( K_2 \) is open, the deflection observed in the galvanometer is 20 div. When \( K_1 \) is also closed and a resistance of \( 90 \, \Omega \) is removed in \( S \), the deflection becomes 13 div. The resistance of galvanometer is nearly:

Human Nervous System
The human nervous system is responsible for controlling and coordinating all the activities of the human body.
The three major functions of the human nervous system are:
- Gathering or assembling sensory information from the body and external environment.
- Processing and interpreting the sensory information acquired.
- Conveying or transferring appropriate response to the sensory information acquired.
The nervous system is mainly divided into two, namely:
The Central Nervous System (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord.
- The brain is majorly involved in the perception and processing of sensory input. It also regulates or manages voluntary motor responses and homeostatic mechanisms.
- The spinal cord act as a pathway for the transmission of information between the brain and the peripheral nervous system. It also takes action on reflex actions.
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) comprises sensory/motor neurons and ganglion.
