$A$ galvanometer can be converted to a voltmeter of full-scale deflection $V_{0}$ by connecting a series resistance $R_{1}$ and can be converted to an ammeter of full-scale deflection $I_{0}$ by connecting a shunt resistance $R_{2}$. What is the current flowing through the galvanometer at its full-scale deflection?

Derive the expression for the shunt resistance required to increase the current-measuring capacity of a galvanometer by a factor of $n$.

Fill in the blanks: The possible value of the resistance of an ammeter is ...... and the possible value of the resistance of a voltmeter is ..... . (more,less)

Consider a moving coil galvanometer $(MCG)$ :
$A :$ The torsional constant in a moving coil galvanometer has dimensions $[ML^2 T^{-2}]$.
$B :$ Increasing the current sensitivity may not necessarily increase the voltage sensitivity.
$C :$ If we increase the number of turns $(N)$ to its double $(2N)$,then the voltage sensitivity doubles.
$D :$ $MCG$ can be converted into an ammeter by introducing a shunt resistance of a large value in parallel with the galvanometer.
$E :$ Current sensitivity of $MCG$ depends inversely on the number of turns of the coil.

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ For measuring the potential difference across a resistance of $600\,\Omega$,the voltmeter with resistance $1000\,\Omega$ will be preferred over a voltmeter with resistance $4000\,\Omega$.
Reason $R:$ $A$ voltmeter with higher resistance will draw smaller current than a voltmeter with lower resistance.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
