$A$ galvanometer of $10 \,\Omega$ resistance gives full scale deflection with $0.01 \, A$ of current. It is to be converted into an ammeter for measuring $10 \, A$ current. The value of shunt resistance required will be

$A$ galvanometer with $50$ divisions on the scale has a resistance of $25 \Omega$. $A$ current of $2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ A}$ gives a deflection of one scale division. The additional series resistance required to convert it into a voltmeter reading up to $25 \text{ V}$ is $.... \Omega$.

The sensitivity of a galvanometer is $60 \text{ division/A}$. When a shunt is used,its sensitivity becomes $10 \text{ division/A}$. If the galvanometer is of resistance $20 \ \Omega$,the value of shunt used is (in $Omega$)
