$A$ galvanometer has resistance $G \ \Omega$ and $I_g$ is the current flowing through it which produces full-scale deflection. $S_1$ is the value of the shunt which converts it into an ammeter of range $0$ to $3I$,and $S_2$ is the shunt value which converts it into an ammeter of range $0$ to $4I$. The ratio $S_2:S_1$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{4}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{3I-I_g}{4I-I_g}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{4I-I_g}{3I-I_g}$

$A$ 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 . . . . . . .

Two galvanometers $A$ and $B$ require currents of $4 \ mA$ and $7 \ mA$,respectively,to produce the same deflection of $20$ divisions. If $S_{A}$ and $S_{B}$ are their sensitivities,respectively,then:

When a shunt resistance of $4r$ is connected to a galvanometer,it becomes an ammeter that can measure $0.03 \, A$. When a shunt resistance of $r$ is connected to the same galvanometer,it becomes an ammeter that can measure $0.06 \, A$. What is the current capacity $(i_g)$ of the galvanometer in $A$?
