$A$ galvanometer of resistance $50\, \Omega$ is connected to a battery of $3\, V$ along with a resistance of $2950\, \Omega$ in series. $A$ full-scale deflection of $30$ divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. In order to reduce this deflection to $20$ divisions,the resistance in series should be.......$\Omega$

In a galvanometer,$5 \%$ of the total current in the circuit passes through it. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$,the shunt resistance $S$ connected to the galvanometer is

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $240 \Omega$ allows only $4 \%$ of the main current to pass through it after connecting a shunt resistance. The value of the shunt resistance is (in $\Omega$)

Two galvanometers $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$ require $2 \ mA$ and $3 \ mA$ respectively to produce the same deflection. Then:

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:
