When a galvanometer is shunted by a resistance $S$,its current capacity increases $n$ times. If the same galvanometer is shunted by another resistance $S^{\prime}$,its current capacity increases to $n^{\prime}$. The value of $n^{\prime}$ in terms of $n, S$ and $S^{\prime}$ is

$A$ teacher in his physics laboratory allotted an experiment to determine the resistance $(G)$ of a galvanometer. Students took the observations for $\frac{1}{3}$ deflection in the galvanometer. Which of the following is true for measuring the value of $G$?

$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter reading up to $0.03\,A$ by connecting a shunt of resistance $4r$ across it,and into an ammeter reading up to $0.06\,A$ 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?

If only $2\%$ of the main current is to be passed through a galvanometer of resistance $G$,then the resistance of the shunt will be

$A$ 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 $\Omega$)
