$A$ galvanometer has a coil of resistance $200 \Omega$ with a full scale deflection at $20 \mu A$. The value of resistance to be added to use it as an ammeter of range $(0-20) mA$ is: (in $\Omega$)

When a resistance of $5\,\Omega$ is shunted with a moving coil galvanometer,it shows a full scale deflection for a current of $250\,mA$. However,when a $1050\,\Omega$ resistance is connected with it in series,it gives full scale deflection for $25\,V$. The resistance of the galvanometer is $......\,\Omega$.

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has a resistance of $50\,\Omega$ and it indicates full-scale deflection at a current of $4\,mA$. $A$ voltmeter is constructed using this galvanometer and a $5\,k\Omega$ series resistance. The maximum voltage that can be measured using this voltmeter will be close to ......$V$.
