Why does a galvanometer not show full-scale deflection after connecting it in a circuit?

How can we convert a galvanometer into an ammeter?

An ammeter with internal resistance $90\,\Omega$ reads $1.85\,A$ when connected in a circuit containing a battery and two resistors $700\,\Omega$ and $410\,\Omega$ in series. The actual current in the circuit (without the ammeter) will be:

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has $100$ equal divisions. Its current sensitivity is $10$ divisions per milliampere and voltage sensitivity is $2$ divisions per millivolt. In order that each division reads $1 \ V$,the resistance in Ohm's needed to be connected in series with the coil will be

$A$ galvanometer gives full scale deflection with $0.006 \ A$ current. By connecting it to a $4990 \ \Omega$ resistance,it can be converted into a voltmeter of range $0-30 \ V$. If connected to a $\frac{2n}{249} \ \Omega$ resistance,it becomes an ammeter of range $0-1.5 \ A$. The value of $n$ is:
