An ammeter reads up to $1\, A$. Its internal resistance is $0.81\, \Omega$. To increase the range to $10\, A$,the value of the required shunt is ............ $\Omega$.

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has a rectangular wire coil of enclosed area $0.001 \ m^2$ and $500$ turns. The coil operates in a radial magnetic field of $0.2 \ T$ and carries a current of $6 \pi \times 10^{-8} \ A$. If the torsional spring constant is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ N-m/rad$, then the angular deflection of the coil in radians is

Assertion: Voltmeter is connected in parallel with the circuit.
Reason: Resistance of a voltmeter is very large.

Which one of the following modifications may increase the sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer?
$1^{st}$ Way: By using a spring of smaller torsion constant.
