The sensitivity of a galvanometer that measures current is decreased by $\frac{1}{40}$ times by using a shunt resistance of $10 \Omega$. Then,the value of the resistance of the galvanometer is (in $\Omega$)

An ammeter has a range of $1 \, A$ without a shunt. The range can be varied by using different shunt resistances. The graph between shunt resistance $(S)$ and range $(I)$ will have the nature of which curve shown in the figure?

What is voltage sensitivity? Obtain its equation.

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has a coil with $175$ turns and an area of $1 \, cm^2$. It uses a torsion band with a torsion constant of $10^{-6} \, N \cdot m/rad$. The coil is placed in a magnetic field $B$ parallel to its plane. The coil deflects by $10^{\circ}$ for a current of $1 \, mA$. The value of $B$ (in Tesla) is approximately:

$100\,mA$ current gives a full scale deflection in a galvanometer of $2\,\Omega$ resistance. The resistance connected with the galvanometer to convert it into a voltmeter to measure $5\,V$ is ............... $\Omega$.
