$A$ moving coil galvanometer of resistance $100 \ \Omega$ shows full-scale deflection when a current of $100 \ \mu A$ passes through it. If it is intended to show full-scale deflection when a current of $1 \ mA$ passes through it,the value of shunt resistance in ohms to be connected to the galvanometer is:

Current sensitivities of two galvanometers $G_1$ and $G_2$ of resistances $100 \ \Omega$ and $50 \ \Omega$ are $10^8 \ \text{div/A}$ and $0.5 \times 10^5 \ \text{div/A}$ respectively. The galvanometer in which the voltage sensitivity is more is

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $10 \Omega$ changes its range from $1 \text{ mA}$ to $101 \text{ mA}$ when a resistive wire is connected in parallel. If the resistivity of the material of the wire and its area of cross-section are $1 \times 10^{-6} \Omega \text{ m}$ and $1 \text{ mm}^2$ respectively,then the length of the wire is (in $cm$)
