If an ammeter is to be used in place of a galvanometer,then we must connect:

  • A
    low resistance in parallel.
  • B
    high resistance in series.
  • C
    high resistance in parallel.
  • D
    low resistance in series.

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $100 \Omega$ gives full scale deflection for a current of $1 \text{ mA}$. It is converted into an ammeter of range $0 - 10 \text{ A}$. The shunt required is: (in $\text{ }\Omega$)

$A$ galvanometer gives full scale deflection with $0.006 \ A$ current. By connecting it to a $4990 \ \Omega$ resistance,it can be converted into a voltmeter of range $0-30 \ V$. If connected to a $\frac{2n}{249} \ \Omega$ resistance,it becomes an ammeter of range $0-1.5 \ A$. The value of $n$ is:
