$A$ galvanometer having $30$ divisions has a current sensitivity of $0.0625 \frac{\text{div}}{\mu A}$. If it is converted into a voltmeter to read a maximum of $6 \text{ V}$,then the resistance of that voltmeter is:

$A$ galvanometer having a resistance of $20\,\Omega$ and $30\,divisions$ on both sides has a figure of merit of $0.005\,A/division$. The resistance that should be connected in series so that it can be used as a voltmeter up to $15\,V$ is ........... $\Omega$.

Two identical moving coil galvanometers have $10 \Omega$ resistance and full scale deflection at $2 \mu A$ current. One of them is converted into a voltmeter of $100 \text{ mV}$ full scale reading and the other into an ammeter of $1 \text{ mA}$ full scale current using appropriate resistors. These are then used to measure the voltage and current in the Ohm's law experiment with $R = 1000 \Omega$ resistor by using an ideal cell. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are correct?
$(1)$ The measured value of $R$ will be $980.2 \Omega$.
$(2)$ The resistance of the voltmeter will be $50 \text{ k} \Omega$.
$(3)$ The resistance of the ammeter will be $0.02 \Omega$ (rounded off to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ decimal place).
$(4)$ If the ideal cell is replaced by a cell having internal resistance of $5 \Omega$,then the measured value of $R$ will be more than $1000 \Omega$.

$A$ 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?
