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 $\Omega$)

$A$ voltmeter has a resistance of $G \, \Omega$ and a range of $V \, \text{volts}$. The value of the resistance that must be connected in series to convert it into a voltmeter of range $nV \, \text{volts}$ is:

For full scale deflection of total $50$ divisions, $50 \, mV$ voltage is required in a galvanometer. The resistance of the galvanometer, if its current sensitivity is $2 \, div/mA$, will be $..... \Omega$.

$A$ galvanometer,having a resistance of $50 \Omega$,gives a full scale deflection for a current of $0.05 \text{ A}$. The length in metre of a resistance wire of area of cross-section $2.97 \times 10^{-2} \text{ cm}^2$ that can be used to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter which can read a maximum of $5 \text{ A}$ current is: (Specific resistance of the wire $= 5 \times 10^{-7} \Omega\text{-m}$)

If only $2 \%$ of the total current passes through an ammeter having a coil of resistance $R$,then the resistance of the shunt of the ammeter is:
