In an ammeter,$0.25 \%$ of the main current passes through the galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$,the resistance of the ammeter will be:

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $240 \Omega$ allows only $4 \%$ of the main current to pass through it after connecting a shunt resistance. The value of the shunt resistance is (in $Omega$)

The resistance of an ammeter is $13\, \Omega$ and its scale is graduated for a current up to $100\, A$. After an additional shunt has been connected to this ammeter,it becomes possible to measure currents up to $750\, A$ by this meter. The value of the shunt resistance is:

$A$ galvanometer has resistance $G \ \Omega$ and $I_g$ is the current flowing through it which produces full-scale deflection. $S_1$ is the value of the shunt which converts it into an ammeter of range $0$ to $3I$,and $S_2$ is the shunt value which converts it into an ammeter of range $0$ to $4I$. The ratio $S_2:S_1$ is:

$A$ voltmeter essentially consists of
