When a galvanometer is shunted by a resistance $S$,its current capacity increases $n$ times. If the same galvanometer is shunted by another resistance $S^{\prime}$,its current capacity increases to $n^{\prime}$. The value of $n^{\prime}$ in terms of $n, S$ and $S^{\prime}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{n+S}{S^{\prime}}$
  • B
    $\frac{S(n-1)-S^{\prime}}{S^{\prime}}$
  • C
    $\frac{(n+1) S}{S^{\prime}}$
  • D
    $\frac{S(n-1)+S^{\prime}}{S^{\prime}}$

$A$ galvanometer has a coil of resistance $200 \Omega$ with a full scale deflection at $20 \mu A$. The value of resistance to be added to use it as an ammeter of range $(0-20) mA$ is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has $100$ turns and each turn has an area of $2.0 \,cm^2$. The magnetic field produced by the magnet is $0.01 \,T$ and the deflection in the coil is $0.05$ radian when a current of $10 \,mA$ is passed through it. The torsional constant of the suspension wire is $x \times 10^{-5} \,N-m / rad$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .

An ammeter gives full-scale deflection when a current of $2 \, A$ flows through it. The resistance of the ammeter is $12 \, \Omega$. If the same ammeter is to be used for measuring a maximum current of $5 \, A$,then the ammeter must be connected with a resistance of:

With a resistance '$X$' connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance $100 \Omega$, it acts as a voltmeter of range $0 - 15 \text{ V}$. To double the range, a resistance of $1500 \Omega$ is to be connected in series with '$X$'. The value of '$X$' in $\Omega$ is
