The scale of a galvanometer is divided into $25$ equal divisions. The resistance of the galvanometer is $100 \,\Omega$. The current sensitivity of the galvanometer is $4 \times 10^{-4} \,A/div$. What resistance in $ohm$ must be connected in series to measure $2.5 \,V$?

$A$ galvanometer,whose resistance is $50\, \Omega$,has $25$ divisions. When a current of $4 \times 10^{-4}\, A$ passes through it,its needle deflects by one division. To use this galvanometer as a voltmeter of range $2.5\, V$,it should be connected to a resistance of ....... $\Omega$.

The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer of resistance $45 \Omega$ falls from $30$ divisions to $3$ divisions. The length of the shunt wire required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter is [specific resistance of the material of the shunt wire $= 5 \times 10^{-7} \Omega m$ and area of cross-section of the wire $= 4 \times 10^{-7} m^2$]. (in $m$)

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has $150$ equal divisions. Its current sensitivity is $10$ divisions per milliampere and voltage sensitivity is $2$ divisions per millivolt. In order that each division reads $1 \, V$,the resistance in $\Omega$ needed to be connected in series with the coil will be

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $50 \Omega$ is connected to a battery of $3 \text{ V}$ along with a resistance of $2950 \Omega$ in series,showing a full-scale deflection of $30$ divisions. The additional series resistance required to reduce the deflection to $20$ divisions is: (in $\Omega$)
