The net resistance of a voltmeter should be large to ensure that :

1. It does not get overheated
2. It draws excessive current
3. It can measure large potential difference
4. It does not appreciably change the potential difference to be measured

A galvanometer having a resistance of \(8~\Omega\) is shunted by a wire of resistance \(2~\Omega\). If the total current is \(1~\text{A}\), the part of it passing through the shunt will be:
1. \(0.25~\text{A}\)
2. \(0.8~\text{A}\)
3. \(0.2~\text{A}\)
4. \(0.5~\text{A}\)
