When a shunt of $4\,\Omega$ is connected to a galvanometer,the deflection reduces to $1/5$ of its initial value. If an additional shunt of $2\,\Omega$ is connected in parallel,what will be the new deflection?

$A$ $50\, \Omega$ galvanometer gets full-scale deflection when a current of $0.01\, A$ passes through the coil. When it is converted to a $10\, A$ ammeter,the shunt resistance is ........... $\Omega$.

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $50 \Omega$ is connected to a battery of $3 \text{ V}$ along with a resistance of $2950 \Omega$ in series. $A$ full-scale deflection of $30$ divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. In order to reduce this deflection to $20$ divisions,the resistance in series should be: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ galvanometer has a resistance of $100 \, \Omega$ and a full-scale range of $50 \, \mu A$. It can be used as a voltmeter or as a high-range ammeter provided a resistance is added to it. Pick the correct range and resistance combination.

$A$ 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
