“By increasing current sensitivity,voltage sensitivity is also increased”. This statement is true or false.

The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is increased by $25 \%$. This increase is achieved only by changing the number of turns of the coils and the area of the cross-section of the wire while keeping the resistance of the galvanometer coil constant. The percentage change in the voltage sensitivity will be $...........\%$

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$ and the meter shows full-scale deflection for $3 \ \text{mA}$. The value of the shunt required to convert this meter into an ammeter of range $0$ to $10 \ \text{A}$ is . . . . . . $\Omega$.

$A$ 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 $\Omega$)

When a galvanometer is shunted with a $4\,\Omega$ resistance,the deflection is reduced to one-fifth. If the galvanometer is further shunted with a $2\,\Omega$ wire,the further reduction in the deflection will be (the main current remains same).
