The scale of a galvanometer is divided into $25$ equal divisions. The resistance of the galvanometer is $100 \,\Omega$. The current sensitivity of the galvanometer is $4 \times 10^{-4} \,A/div$. What resistance in $ohm$ must be connected in series to measure $2.5 \,V$?

  • A
    $100$
  • B
    $150$
  • C
    $250$
  • D
    $300$

In the circuit (Figure) the current is to be measured. What is the value of the current if the ammeter shown:
$(a)$ is a galvanometer with a resistance $R_{G}=60.00 \; \Omega$;
$(b)$ is a galvanometer described in $(a)$ but converted to an ammeter by a shunt resistance $r_{s}=0.02 \; \Omega$;
$(c)$ is an ideal ammeter with zero resistance?

If only $2\%$ of the main current is to be passed through a galvanometer of resistance $G$,then the resistance of the shunt will be

When a resistance of $100 \Omega$ is connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance $G$,its range is $V$. To double its range,a resistance of $1000 \Omega$ is connected in series. The value of $G$ is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ 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 $\Omega$)
