The galvanometer has a resistance of $1.8 \Omega$. Calculate the value of shunt to increase the range of galvanometer by $10$ times. (in $\Omega$)

$A$ galvanometer whose resistance is $120 \, \Omega$ gives full-scale deflection with a current of $0.05 \, A$. To enable it to read a maximum current of $10 \, A$,a shunt resistance is added in parallel with it. The resistance of the ammeter so formed is .............. $\Omega$.

The deflection in a galvanometer falls to $\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{th}$ of its initial value when it is shunted by a resistor of $3 \Omega$. If an additional shunt of $2 \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the earlier shunt,the deflection in the galvanometer falls to:

$A$ galvanometer gives a full-scale reading of $50 \ mA$,when a potential difference across its terminals is $0.15 \ V$. It can be used as an ammeter of range $0 - 100 \ A$ by connecting a shunt resistance of: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ galvanometer has a resistance of $50 \ \Omega$ and it allows a maximum current of $5 \ mA$. It can be converted into a voltmeter to measure up to $100 \ V$ by connecting in series a resistor of resistance: (in $\Omega$)
