The sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is $s$. If a shunt of $\frac{1}{8}$ of the resistance of the galvanometer is connected to the moving coil galvanometer,what will its new sensitivity be?

When a resistance of $200 \Omega$ is connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance $G$,its range is $V$. To triple its range,a resistance of $2000 \Omega$ is connected in series. The value of $G$ is (in $\Omega$)

The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer of resistance $45 \Omega$ falls from $30$ divisions to $3$ divisions. The length of the shunt wire required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter is [specific resistance of the material of the shunt wire $= 5 \times 10^{-7} \Omega m$ and area of cross-section of the wire $= 4 \times 10^{-7} m^2$]. (in $m$)

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $G$ is converted into a voltmeter of range $0-1\, V$ by connecting a resistance $R_{1}$ in series with it. The additional resistance that should be connected in series with $R_{1}$ to increase the range of the voltmeter to $0-2\, V$ will be

If only $\frac{1}{51}$ of the main current is to be passed through a galvanometer,then the shunt required is $R_1$. If only $\frac{1}{11}$ of the main voltage is to be developed across the galvanometer,then the resistance required is $R_2$. Find the ratio $\frac{R_2}{R_1}$.
