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
    $\frac{1}{499} G \, \Omega$
  • B
    $\frac{499}{500} G \, \Omega$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{500} G \, \Omega$
  • D
    $\frac{500}{499} G \, \Omega$

When a galvanometer is shunted by a resistance $s$,its current capacity increases $n$ times. If the same galvanometer is shunted by another resistance $s_1$,its capacity will increase to $n_1$ times the original current. The value of $n_1$ is

$A$ 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:

$A$ galvanometer having internal resistance $10 \Omega$ requires $0.01 \ A$ for a full scale deflection. To convert this galvanometer to a voltmeter of full-scale deflection at $120 \ V$, we need to connect a resistance of
