$A$ 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

The scale of a galvanometer is divided into $100$ equal divisions. It has a current sensitivity of $10 \text{ div./mA}$ and a voltage sensitivity of $4 \text{ div./mV}$. The resistance of the galvanometer is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ student uses the resistance of a known resistor $(1 \,\Omega)$ to calibrate a voltmeter and an ammeter using the circuits shown below. The student measures the ratio of the voltage to current to be $1 \times 10^3 \,\Omega$ in circuit $(a)$ and $0.999 \,\Omega$ in circuit $(b)$. From these measurements,the resistance (in $\Omega$) of the voltmeter and ammeter are found to be close to

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:
