The current passing through the galvanometer is $4\%$ of the total current in the circuit. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$, the shunt resistance $S$ connected across the galvanometer is:

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $50 \Omega$ gives a full-scale deflection for a current of $5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ A}$. The resistance that should be connected in series with the galvanometer to read $3 \text{ V}$ is: (in $\Omega$)

The value of the shunt resistance that allows $10 \%$ of the main current through the galvanometer of $99 \Omega$ is (in $\Omega$)

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has $50$ turns and each turn has an area $2 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$. The magnetic field produced by the magnet inside the galvanometer is $0.02 \ T$. The torsional constant of the suspension wire is $10^{-4} \ N \ m \ rad^{-1}$. When a current flows through the galvanometer,a full-scale deflection occurs if the coil rotates by $0.2 \ rad$. The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer is $50 \ \Omega$. This galvanometer is to be converted into an ammeter capable of measuring current in the range $0-1.0 \ A$. For this purpose,a shunt resistance is to be added in parallel to the galvanometer. The value of this shunt resistance,in ohms,is:
