$A$ galvanometer of resistance $100 \Omega$ when connected in series with $400 \Omega$ measures a voltage of up to $10 \ V$. The value of resistance required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter to read up to $10 \ A$ is $x \times 10^{-2} \Omega$. The value of $x$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $800$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $200$

$A$ galvanometer having a coil resistance of $100 \ \Omega$ gives a full-scale deflection when a current of $1 \ mA$ is passed through it. The value of the shunt resistance,which can convert this galvanometer into an ammeter giving a full-scale deflection for a current of $10 \ A$,is: ...... $\Omega$

Two moving coil meters,$M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ have the following particulars:
$R_{1}=10 \,\Omega, \quad N_{1}=30$
