$A$ 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:

Two moving coil meters,$M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ have the following particulars:
$R_{1}=10 \,\Omega, \quad N_{1}=30$
$A_{1}=3.6 \times 10^{-3} \,m^{2}, \quad B_{1}=0.25 \,T$
$R_{2}=14 \,\Omega, \quad N_{2}=42$
$A_{2}=1.8 \times 10^{-3} \,m^{2}, \quad B_{2}=0.50 \,T$
(The spring constants are identical for the two meters). Determine the ratio of
$(a)$ current sensitivity and
$(b)$ voltage sensitivity of $M_{2}$ and $M_{1}$.

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $G$ can be converted into a voltmeter of range $V$ by connecting a resistance $R$ in series with it. The series resistance required to change its range to $\frac{V}{3}$ is

$A$ galvanometer of resistance $20 \,\Omega$ is to be converted into an ammeter of range $1 \, A$. If a current of $1 \, mA$ produces full scale deflection,the shunt required for the purpose is ................ $\Omega $.

With a resistance $X$ connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance $100 \Omega$,it acts as a voltmeter of range $0-15 \ V$. To double the range,a resistance of $1500 \Omega$ is to be connected in series with $X$. The value of $X$ in ohm is:
