Only $4 \%$ of the total current in the circuit passes through a galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$,then the shunt resistance connected to the galvanometer is:

  • A
    $\frac{G}{25}$
  • B
    $\frac{G}{24}$
  • C
    $24 G$
  • D
    $25 G$

The sensitivity of a galvanometer that measures current is decreased by $\frac{1}{40}$ times by using a shunt resistance of $10 \Omega$. Then,the value of the resistance of the galvanometer is (in $Omega$)

The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is increased by $25 \%$. This increase is achieved only by changing the number of turns of the coils and the area of the cross-section of the wire while keeping the resistance of the galvanometer coil constant. The percentage change in the voltage sensitivity will be $...........\%$

$A$ galvanometer with its coil resistance $25\,\Omega$ requires a current of $1\,mA$ for its full-scale deflection. In order to construct an ammeter to read up to a current of $2\,A$,the approximate value of the shunt resistance should be:

An ammeter of $5\,\Omega$ resistance can read $5\,mA$. If it is to be used to read $100\,V$,how much resistance is to be connected in series? (in $\Omega$)
