$A$ galvanometer having a coil resistance of $60\,\Omega$ shows full-scale deflection when a current of $1.0\,A$ passes through it. It can be converted into an ammeter to read currents up to $5.0\,A$ by:

The resistance of a galvanometer is $50\,\Omega$ and the current required to give full-scale deflection is $100\,\mu A$. In order to convert it into an ammeter reading up to $10\,A$,it is necessary to put a resistance of

$A$ 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

$A$ voltmeter of resistance $1000\,\Omega$ gives full scale deflection when a current of $100\,mA$ flows through it. The shunt resistance required across it to enable it to be used as an ammeter reading $1\,A$ at full scale deflection is ............... $\Omega$.
