$A$ voltmeter of resistance $1000\,\Omega$ gives full scale deflection when a current of $100\,mA$ flows through it. The shunt resistance required across it to enable it to be used as an ammeter reading $1\,A$ at full scale deflection is ............... $\Omega$.

$A$ galvanometer has a resistance of $25 \, \Omega$ and a maximum of $0.01 \, A$ current can be passed through it. In order to change it into an ammeter of range $10 \, A$, the shunt resistance required is

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $50 \ \Omega$ is connected to a battery of $8 \ V$ along with a resistance of $3950 \ \Omega$ in series. $A$ full-scale deflection of $30$ divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. In order to reduce this deflection to $15$ divisions,the resistance in series should be . . . . . . $\Omega$.

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).

To send $10 \%$ of the main current through a moving coil galvanometer of resistance $99 \Omega$,the shunt required is . . . . . . . (in $\Omega$)
