$A$ galvanometer of resistance $30 \Omega$ is connected to a battery of emf $2 \text{ V}$ with $1970 \Omega$ resistance in series. $A$ full-scale deflection of $20$ divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. To reduce the deflection to $10$ divisions,the total resistance in series required is: (in $\Omega$)

In order to increase the sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer,one should decrease

$A$ moving coil galvanometer,having a resistance $G$,produces full scale deflection when a current $I_g$ flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into $(i)$ an ammeter of range $0$ to $I_0$ $(I_0 > I_g)$ by connecting a shunt resistance $R_A$ to it and $(ii)$ into a voltmeter of range $0$ to $V$ $(V = GI_0)$ by connecting a series resistance $R_V$ to it. Then,

$A$ moving coil sensitive galvanometer shows a large deflection. To control its speed of deflection (damping),which of the following is used?

The pointer of a dead-beat galvanometer gives a steady deflection because
