The resistance of a galvanometer is $25\,\Omega$ and it requires $50\,\mu A$ for full-scale deflection. The value of the shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of $5\,A$ range is:

  • A
    $2.5 \times 10^{-4}\,\Omega$
  • B
    $1.25 \times 10^{-3}\,\Omega$
  • C
    $0.05\,\Omega$
  • D
    $2.5\,\Omega$

What is the resistance of an ideal ammeter?

$A$ galvanometer has a current range of $10 \text{ mA}$ and a voltage range of $0.75 \text{ V}$. To convert this galvanometer into an ammeter of range $10 \text{ A}$, what is the shunt resistance?

The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer increases by $20 \%$ when its resistance is doubled. Calculate,by what factor does the voltage sensitivity change?

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: If the number of turns in the coil of a moving coil galvanometer is doubled,then the current sensitivity becomes double.
Statement $II$: Increasing the current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer by only increasing the number of turns in the coil will also increase its voltage sensitivity in the same ratio.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Two galvanometers $A$ and $B$ require currents of $4 \ mA$ and $7 \ mA$,respectively,to produce the same deflection of $20$ divisions. If $S_{A}$ and $S_{B}$ are their sensitivities,respectively,then:
