$A$ galvanometer of resistance $20 \Omega$ gives a deflection of $5$ divisions when $1 \text{ mA}$ current flows through it. The galvanometer scale has $50$ divisions. To convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter of range $25 \text{ V}$,we should connect a resistance of

  • A
    $1240 \Omega$ in series.
  • B
    $2480 \Omega$ in series.
  • C
    $2480 \Omega$ in parallel.
  • D
    $20 \Omega$ in parallel.

The scale of a galvanometer is divided into $100$ equal divisions. It has a current sensitivity of $10 \text{ div./mA}$ and a voltage sensitivity of $4 \text{ div./mV}$. The resistance of the galvanometer is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter reading up to $0.03\,A$ by connecting a shunt of resistance $4r$ across it,and into an ammeter reading up to $0.06\,A$ when a shunt of resistance $r$ is connected across it. What is the maximum current which can be sent through this galvanometer if no shunt is used?
