$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter of range $0$ to $5 \, mA$. The galvanometer resistance is $90 \, \Omega$ and the shunt resistance has a value of $10 \, \Omega$. If there are $50$ divisions in the galvanometer-turned-ammeter on either side of zero, its current sensitivity is

If only $\frac{1}{51}$ of the main current is to be passed through a galvanometer,then the shunt required is $R_1$. If only $\frac{1}{11}$ of the main voltage is to be developed across the galvanometer,then the resistance required is $R_2$. Find the ratio $\frac{R_2}{R_1}$.

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 $A$?
