An ammeter of resistance $R$ gives a full-scale deflection when a current of $2 \ A$ passes through it. If it is to be converted into an ammeter to measure a maximum current of $10 \ A$,the required shunt is:

  • A
    $\frac{R}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{R}{4}$
  • C
    $2 R$
  • D
    $R$

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 for reading up to $10\,A$,it is necessary to put a resistance of:

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $10 \Omega$ changes its range from $1 \text{ mA}$ to $101 \text{ mA}$ when a resistive wire is connected in parallel. If the resistivity of the material of the wire and its area of cross-section are $1 \times 10^{-6} \Omega \text{ m}$ and $1 \text{ mm}^2$ respectively,then the length of the wire is (in $cm$)

$A$ voltmeter essentially consists of

The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is increased by $25 \%$. This increase is achieved only by changing the number of turns of the coils and the area of the cross-section of the wire while keeping the resistance of the galvanometer coil constant. The percentage change in the voltage sensitivity will be $...........\%$

To find the resistance of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,the experimental data obtained are given in the table below:
$S. No.$Resistance $R \ (\Omega)$Deflection $(\theta)$Shunt $S \ (\Omega)$Half deflection $(\theta / 2)$Galvanometer resistance $(G)$
$1$$3300$$30$$80$$15$$G_1$
$2$$5000$$20$$80$$10$$G_2$

From the above data,the galvanometer resistance $G$ will be near to: (in $\Omega$)
