$A$ 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 $\,A$)?

By connecting a resistance of $980 \Omega$ in series with a galvanometer, it is converted into a voltmeter of a certain range. When the resistance of $470 \Omega$ is connected in series, the range is halved. The resistance of the galvanometer is (in $\Omega$)

$A$ milliammeter of range $10 \, mA$ has a coil of resistance $1 \, \Omega$. To use it as a voltmeter of range $10 \, V$,the resistance that must be connected in series with it will be ............. $\Omega$.

In an ammeter, $0.2\%$ of the main current passes through the galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$, the resistance of the ammeter will be

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has $50$ turns and each turn has an area $2 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$. The magnetic field produced by the magnet inside the galvanometer is $0.02 \ T$. The torsional constant of the suspension wire is $10^{-4} \ N \ m \ rad^{-1}$. When a current flows through the galvanometer,a full-scale deflection occurs if the coil rotates by $0.2 \ rad$. The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer is $50 \ \Omega$. This galvanometer is to be converted into an ammeter capable of measuring current in the range $0-1.0 \ A$. For this purpose,a shunt resistance is to be added in parallel to the galvanometer. The value of this shunt resistance,in ohms,is:
