$A$ moving coil galvanometer is converted into an ammeter, reading up to $0.04 \,A$ by connecting a shunt of resistance '$3r$' across it and then into an ammeter reading up to $0.8 \,A$, 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 (in $\,A$)?

$A$ galvanometer can be converted to a voltmeter of full-scale deflection $V_{0}$ by connecting a series resistance $R_{1}$ and can be converted to an ammeter of full-scale deflection $I_{0}$ by connecting a shunt resistance $R_{2}$. What is the current flowing through the galvanometer at its full-scale deflection?

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $10 \Omega$ changes its range from $1 \text{ mA}$ to $101 \text{ mA}$ when a resistive wire is connected in parallel. If the resistivity of the material of the wire and its area of cross-section are $1 \times 10^{-6} \Omega \text{ m}$ and $1 \text{ mm}^2$ respectively,then the length of the wire is (in $cm$)

$A$ 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 $A$)?
