When a galvanometer is shunted by a resistance $S$, its current capacity increases $n$ times. If the same galvanometer is shunted by another resistance $S'$, its current capacity will increase to $n'$. The value of $n$ in terms of $n'$, $S$, and $S'$ is

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 may be converted into an ammeter or a voltmeter. In which of the following cases will the resistance of the device be the largest? (Assume the maximum range of the galvanometer is $1 \, mA$)

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance $80 \Omega$ and current for full-scale deflection is $10 \text{ mA}$. $A$ resistance of $920 \Omega$ is connected in series with the galvanometer to make a voltmeter. If the least count of the voltmeter is $0.2 \text{ V}$,the number of divisions on the scale is:
