$A$ student uses the resistance of a known resistor $(1 \,\Omega)$ to calibrate a voltmeter and an ammeter using the circuits shown below. The student measures the ratio of the voltage to current to be $1 \times 10^3 \,\Omega$ in circuit $(a)$ and $0.999 \,\Omega$ in circuit $(b)$. From these measurements,the resistance (in $\Omega$) of the voltmeter and ammeter are found to be close to

Two identical galvanometers are converted into an ammeter and a milliammeter. For the same current,the value of the shunt of the ammeter as compared to that of the milliammeter is

Explain the difficulties encountered when using a galvanometer directly as an ammeter.

Only $4 \%$ of the total current in the circuit passes through a galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$,then the shunt resistance connected to the galvanometer is:

The sensitivity of a galvanometer that measures current is decreased by $\frac{1}{40}$ times by using a shunt resistance of $10 \Omega$. Then,the value of the resistance of the galvanometer is (in $\Omega$)
