In a moving coil galvanometer,a strong horse-shoe magnet with concave-shaped pole pieces is used to:

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance $80 \Omega$ and current for full-scale deflection is $10 \text{ mA}$. $A$ resistance of $920 \Omega$ is connected in series with the galvanometer to make a voltmeter. If the least count of the voltmeter is $0.2 \text{ V}$,the number of divisions on the scale is:

$A$ shunt of resistance $1\ \Omega$ is connected across a galvanometer of $120\ \Omega$ resistance. $A$ current of $5.5\ A$ flows through the circuit,and the galvanometer shows full-scale deflection. What is the current that would cause full-scale deflection in the galvanometer in the absence of the shunt (in $A$)?

When a galvanometer is shunted with a $4\,\Omega$ resistance,the deflection is reduced to one-fifth. If the galvanometer is further shunted with a $2\,\Omega$ wire,the further reduction in the deflection will be (the main current remains same).
