Consider the two following statements $A$ and $B$, and identify the correct choice given in the answers: $(A)$ Duddell's thermo galvanometer is suitable to measure direct current only. $(B)$ Thermopile can measure temperature differences of the order of $10^{-3} {}^{\circ}C$.

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 $m$)

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

The coil in a moving coil galvanometer experiences a torque proportional to the current passed through it. If a steady current $i$ is passed through it,the deflection of the coil is found to be $90^o$. Now,the steady current is switched off and a charge $Q$ is suddenly passed through the coil. If the coil has $N$ turns of area $A$ each and its moment of inertia is $I$ about the axis it is going to rotate,then the maximum angle through which it deflects upon passing $Q$ is:
