$A$ galvanometer of resistance $G$ is shunted by a resistance $S$. To keep the main current in the circuit unchanged,the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer is

  • A
    $\frac{G}{S + G}$
  • B
    $\frac{S^2}{S + G}$
  • C
    $\frac{SG}{S + G}$
  • D
    $\frac{G^2}{S + G}$

$A$ stray magnetic field does $\underline{\text{NOT}}$ affect the deflection of a moving coil galvanometer because

The sensitivity of a galvanometer that measures current is decreased by $\frac{1}{40}$ times by using a shunt resistance of $10 \Omega$. Then,the value of the resistance of the galvanometer is (in $\Omega$)

The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer of resistance $45 \Omega$ falls from $30$ divisions to $3$ divisions. The length of the shunt wire required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter is [specific resistance of the material of the shunt wire $= 5 \times 10^{-7} \Omega m$ and area of cross-section of the wire $= 4 \times 10^{-7} m^2$]. (in $m$)

How are a voltmeter and an ammeter connected in a circuit? Explain.
