Two identical galvanometers are converted into an ammeter and a milliammeter. For the same current,the value of the shunt of the ammeter as compared to that of the milliammeter is

To reduce the current flowing through a coil of resistance $90\, \Omega$ by $90\%$,a resistor of what value in $\Omega$ must be connected in parallel?

The ratio of heats generated through shunt and galvanometer is $7: 5$ when they are connected to make an ammeter. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $112 \Omega$,then the resistance of the shunt is: (in $\Omega$)

An ammeter reads up to $1\, A$. Its internal resistance is $0.81\, \Omega$. To increase the range to $10\, A$,the value of the required shunt is ............ $\Omega$.

The resistance of an ammeter is $13\, \Omega$ and its scale is graduated for a current up to $100\, A$. After an additional shunt has been connected to this ammeter,it becomes possible to measure currents up to $750\, A$ by this meter. The value of the shunt resistance is:
