Only $4 \%$ of the total current in the circuit passes through a galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$,then the shunt resistance connected to the galvanometer is:

  • A
    $\frac{G}{25}$
  • B
    $\frac{G}{24}$
  • C
    $24 G$
  • D
    $25 G$

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has $48$ turns and the area of the coil is $4 \times 10^{-2} \, m^2$. If the magnetic field is $0.2 \, T$,then to increase the current sensitivity by $25\%$ without changing the area $(A)$ and the magnetic field $(B)$,the number of turns should become:

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $36 \ \Omega$ is converted into an ammeter by using a shunt of $4 \ \Omega$. The fraction $f_0$ of the total current passing through the galvanometer is:

$A$ galvanometer gives full scale deflection with $0.006 \ A$ current. By connecting it to a $4990 \ \Omega$ resistance,it can be converted into a voltmeter of range $0-30 \ V$. If connected to a $\frac{2n}{249} \ \Omega$ resistance,it becomes an ammeter of range $0-1.5 \ A$. The value of $n$ is:

Explain: "Increasing the current sensitivity may not necessarily increase the voltage sensitivity".

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $100 \Omega$ requires $10 \mu A$ current for full-scale deflection. If a shunt resistance of $1 \Omega$ is connected in parallel to convert it into an ammeter, what is the minimum current required to obtain full-scale deflection (in $\text{ mA}$)?
