The resistance of a galvanometer coil is $R$. What is the shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of range $4$ times?

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance of $990 \,\Omega$. It shows a full-scale deflection for a current of $10 \,mA$. Calculate the value of the shunt resistance required to convert it into an ammeter of range $1 \,A$.

When a galvanometer is shunted with a $4\,\Omega$ resistance,the deflection is reduced to one-fifth. If the galvanometer is further shunted with a $2\,\Omega$ wire,the further reduction in the deflection will be (the main current remains same).

$A$ multirange voltmeter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in the figure. We want to construct a voltmeter that can measure $2 \ V$,$20 \ V$,and $200 \ V$ using a galvanometer of resistance $10 \ \Omega$ that produces maximum deflection for a current of $1 \ mA$. Find $R_1$,$R_2$,and $R_3$ that have to be used.
