When a galvanometer is shunted by a resistance $S$,its current capacity increases $n$ times. If the same galvanometer is shunted by another resistance $S^{\prime}$,its current capacity increases to $n^{\prime}$. The value of $n^{\prime}$ in terms of $n, S$ and $S^{\prime}$ is

The current flowing through a coil of resistance $900 \, \Omega$ is to be reduced by $90 \, \%$. What value of shunt should be connected across the coil in $\Omega$?

$A$ galvanometer has a $50$ division scale. The battery has no internal resistance. It is found that there is a deflection of $40$ divisions when $R = 2400\,\Omega$. The deflection becomes $20$ divisions when the resistance taken from the resistance box is $4900\,\Omega$. Then we can conclude:
