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

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $25\,\Omega$ gives full-scale deflection for a current of $10\,mA$. It is to be converted into a voltmeter of range $100\,V$ by connecting a resistance $R$ in series with the galvanometer. The value of resistance $R$ in $\Omega$ is:

An ideal ammeter and an ideal voltmeter have resistances of . . . . . . $\Omega$ and . . . . . . $\Omega$ respectively.

$A$ galvanometer having a coil of resistance $30 \ \Omega$ needs $20 \ \text{mA}$ of current for full-scale deflection. If a maximum current of $3 \ \text{A}$ is to be measured using this galvanometer,the resistance of the shunt to be added to the galvanometer should be $\frac{30}{X} \ \Omega$,where $X$ is

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance of $12\,\Omega$ and the meter shows full-scale deflection for a current of $3\,mA$. To convert it into a voltmeter of range $0-18\,V$,what resistance should be added and how?
