$A$ moving coil sensitive galvanometer shows a large deflection. To control its speed of deflection (damping),which of the following is used?

$A$ galvanometer with a resistance of $8 \, \Omega$ is connected to a shunt of $2 \, \Omega$. If the total current is $1 \, A$,how much current in $A$ passes through the shunt?

The coil in a moving coil galvanometer experiences a torque proportional to the current passed through it. If a steady current $i$ is passed through it,the deflection of the coil is found to be $90^o$. Now,the steady current is switched off and a charge $Q$ is suddenly passed through the coil. If the coil has $N$ turns of area $A$ each and its moment of inertia is $I$ about the axis it is going to rotate,then the maximum angle through which it deflects upon passing $Q$ is:

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $30 \Omega$ is connected to a battery of emf $2 \text{ V}$ with $1970 \Omega$ resistance in series. $A$ full-scale deflection of $20$ divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. To reduce the deflection to $10$ divisions,the total resistance in series required is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ galvanometer has $36\,\Omega$ resistance. If a $4\,\Omega$ shunt is added to this,the fraction of current that passes through the shunt is
