$A$ galvanometer of resistance $50 \Omega$ is connected to a battery of $3 \text{ V}$ along with a resistance of $2950 \Omega$ in series. $A$ full-scale deflection of $30$ divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. In order to reduce this deflection to $20$ divisions,the resistance in series should be: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $G$ is converted into a voltmeter of range $0-1\, V$ by connecting a resistance $R_{1}$ in series with it. The additional resistance that should be connected in series with $R_{1}$ to increase the range of the voltmeter to $0-2\, V$ will be

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 $......\,\Omega$.

The sensitivity of a galvanometer is $60 \text{ division/A}$. When a shunt is used,its sensitivity becomes $10 \text{ division/A}$. If the galvanometer is of resistance $20 \ \Omega$,the value of shunt used is (in $\Omega$)

In a circuit for finding the resistance of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a $6\,V$ battery and a high resistance of $11\,k\Omega$ are used. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is $60\,\mu A/\text{division}$. In the absence of shunt resistance,the galvanometer produces a deflection of $\theta = 9$ divisions when current flows in the circuit. The value of the shunt resistance that can cause the deflection of $\theta/2$ is closest to .................. $\Omega$.
