$A$ moving coil galvanometer has a rectangular wire coil of enclosed area $0.001 \ m^2$ and $500$ turns. The coil operates in a radial magnetic field of $0.2 \ T$ and carries a current of $6 \pi \times 10^{-8} \ A$. If the torsional spring constant is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ N-m/rad$,then the angular deflection of the coil in radians is

$A$ $50\, \Omega$ galvanometer gets full-scale deflection when a current of $0.01\, A$ passes through the coil. When it is converted to a $10\, A$ ammeter,the shunt resistance is ........... $\Omega$.

The number of turns of the coil of a moving coil galvanometer is increased in order to increase current sensitivity by $50 \%$. The percentage change in voltage sensitivity of the galvanometer will be $..........\%$

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $G$ can be converted into a voltmeter of range $V$ by connecting a resistance $R$ in series with it. The series resistance required to change its range to $\frac{V}{3}$ is
