$A$ teacher in his physics laboratory allotted an experiment to determine the resistance $(G)$ of a galvanometer. Students took the observations for $\frac{1}{3}$ deflection in the galvanometer. Which of the following is true for measuring the value of $G$?

To determine the resistance $G$ of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a battery of $emf$ $V$ and a series resistance $R$ are used to produce a deflection $\theta$ in the galvanometer. If a shunt resistance $S$ is connected in parallel to the galvanometer to reduce the deflection to $\theta/2$,then $G, R$,and $S$ are related by the equation:

An ammeter reads up to $1\, A$. Its internal resistance is $0.81\, \Omega$. To increase the range to $10\, A$,the value of the required shunt is ............ $\Omega$.

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance of $990 \,\Omega$. It shows a full-scale deflection for a current of $10 \,mA$. Calculate the value of the shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of range $1 \,A$.
