$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter, reading up to $0.04 \,A$ by connecting a shunt of resistance '$3r$' across it and then into an ammeter reading up to $0.8 \,A$, when a shunt of resistance '$r$' is connected across it. What is the maximum current which can be sent through this galvanometer if no shunt is used (in $\,A$)?

  • A
    $0.02$
  • B
    $0.04$
  • C
    $0.08$
  • D
    $0.01$
