$A$ galvanometer of resistance $40 \Omega$ gives a deflection of $10 \text{ divisions per } mA$. There are $50 \text{ divisions}$ on the scale. The maximum current that can pass through the circuit when a shunt resistance of $2 \Omega$ is connected is: (in $\text{ mA}$)

  • A
    $105$
  • B
    $155$
  • C
    $210$

The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer increases by $20 \%$ when its resistance is doubled. Calculate,by what factor does the voltage sensitivity change?

$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter, reading up to $0.04 \,A$ by connecting a shunt of resistance '$3r$' across it and then into an ammeter reading up to $0.8 \,A$, when a shunt of resistance '$r$' is connected across it. What is the maximum current which can be sent through this galvanometer if no shunt is used (in $\,A$)?
