The resistance of an ammeter is $13\, \Omega$ and its scale is graduated for a current up to $100\, A$. After an additional shunt has been connected to this ammeter,it becomes possible to measure currents up to $750\, A$ by this meter. The value of the shunt resistance is:

What is voltage sensitivity? Obtain its equation.

The net resistance of a voltmeter should be large to ensure that

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $100 \Omega$ gives full scale deflection for a current of $1 \text{ mA}$. It is converted into an ammeter of range $0 - 10 \text{ A}$. The shunt required is: (in $\text{ }\Omega$)

$A$ milliammeter of range $10 \, mA$ has a coil of resistance $1 \, \Omega$. To use it as a voltmeter of range $10 \, V$,the resistance that must be connected in series with it will be ............. $\Omega$.
