$A$ galvanometer having a coil resistance of $30\,\Omega$ shows full-scale deflection when a current of $2\,A$ passes through it. It can be converted into an ammeter to read currents up to $10\,A$ by:

The circular coil of a galvanometer has $50$ turns. The coil has a radius of $1 \ cm$. The coil is placed in a radial magnetic field of $0.010 \ T$. The torsion coefficient of the spring on which the coil hangs is $3 \times 10^{-7} \ N-m-rad^{-1}$. Determine the deflection of the galvanometer's pointer if the current through the coil is $1.0 \ mA$. (in $^{\circ}$)
