$A$ galvanometer has a resistance $100 \ \Omega$ and its full-scale deflection current is $10 \ mA$. What is the value of the shunt resistance required so that it can measure current up to $10 \ A$?

The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer is

The resistance of a galvanometer is $25\,\Omega$ and it requires $50\,\mu A$ for full-scale deflection. The value of the shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of $5\,A$ range is:

$A$ galvanometer whose resistance is $120 \, \Omega$ gives full-scale deflection with a current of $0.05 \, A$. To enable it to read a maximum current of $10 \, A$,a shunt resistance is added in parallel with it. The resistance of the ammeter so formed is .............. $\Omega$.

$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter, reading up to $0.04 \,A$ by connecting a shunt of resistance '$3r$' across it and then into an ammeter reading up to $0.8 \,A$, 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 (in $\,A$)?
