To find the resistance of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,the following circuit is used with resistances $R_1 = 9970\,\Omega$,$R_2 = 30\,\Omega$,and $R_3 = 0\,\Omega$. The deflection in the galvanometer is $d$. With $R_3 = 107\,\Omega$,the deflection changes to $\frac{d}{2}$. The galvanometer resistance is approximately ............... $\Omega$.

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance of $50 \Omega$ and the meter shows full scale deflection for a current of $5 \text{ mA}$. This galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter of range $0-20 \text{ V}$ by connecting:

$A$ 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 $\text{ }\Omega$)

An ammeter of resistance $20 \Omega$ gives full scale deflection when $1 \text{ mA}$ current flows through it. What is the maximum current that can be measured by connecting $4$ resistors each of $16 \Omega$ in parallel with the meter (in $\text{ mA}$)?
