$A$ moving coil galvanometer, when shunted with a $2\text{ }\Omega$ resistance, gives a full-scale deflection for a current of $500\text{ mA}$. When a resistance of $470\text{ }\Omega$ is connected in series, it gives a full-scale deflection for a potential of $10\text{ V}$ applied across it. The value of the resistance of the galvanometer coil is . . . . . . $\Omega$.
