$A$ galvanometer of resistance $G$ is shunted by a resistance $S$. To keep the main current in the circuit unchanged,the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer is

In the circuit (Figure) the current is to be measured. What is the value of the current if the ammeter shown:
$(a)$ is a galvanometer with a resistance $R_{G}=60.00 \; \Omega$;
$(b)$ is a galvanometer described in $(a)$ but converted to an ammeter by a shunt resistance $r_{s}=0.02 \; \Omega$;
$(c)$ is an ideal ammeter with zero resistance?

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $50 \Omega$ is connected to a battery of $3 \text{ V}$ 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: (in $\Omega$)

In an ammeter,$0.25 \%$ of the main current passes through the galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$,the resistance of the ammeter will be:
