$A$ galvanometer of $10 \,\Omega$ resistance gives full scale deflection with $0.01 \, A$ of current. It is to be converted into an ammeter for measuring $10 \, A$ current. The value of shunt resistance required will be

$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter reading up to $0.03\,A$ by connecting a shunt of resistance $4r$ across it,and into an ammeter reading up to $0.06\,A$ when a shunt of resistance $r$ is connected across it. What is the maximum current which can be sent through this galvanometer if no shunt is used?

$A$ maximum current of $0.5 \ mA$ can pass through a galvanometer of resistance $15 \ \Omega$. The resistance to be connected in series to the galvanometer to convert it into a voltmeter of range $0-10 \ V$ is (in $Omega$)
