In the experiment to determine the galvanometer resistance by the half-deflection method,the plot of $\frac{1}{\theta}$ vs the resistance $(R)$ of the resistance box is shown in the figure. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is .............. $\times 10^{-1} \text{ A/division}$. [The source has emf $E = 2 \text{ V}$]

$A$ galvanometer has a current range of $10 \text{ mA}$ and a voltage range of $0.75 \text{ V}$. To convert this galvanometer into an ammeter of range $10 \text{ A}$, what is the shunt resistance?

For a moving coil galvanometer,the deflection in the coil is $0.05\,rad$ when a current of $10\,mA$ is passed through it. If the torsional constant of the suspension wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5}\,Nm\,rad^{-1}$,the magnetic field is $0.01\,T$,and the number of turns in the coil is $200$,the area of each turn (in $cm^2$) is:

$A$ moving coil galvanometer allows a full-scale current of $10^{-4} \ A$. $A$ series resistance of $2 \ M\Omega$ is required to convert the above galvanometer into a voltmeter of range $0-5 \ V$. Therefore,the value of shunt resistance required to convert the above galvanometer into an ammeter of range $0-10 \ mA$ is .... $\Omega$.
