The current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer increases by $20 \%$ when its resistance is doubled. Calculate,by what factor does the voltage sensitivity change?

  • A
    Becomes $\frac{3}{5}$ times
  • B
    Becomes $\frac{2}{5}$ times
  • C
    No change
  • D
    Decreases by a factor of $\frac{7}{5}$

$A$ galvanometer with $30$ divisions has a current sensitivity of $20 \, \mu A/division$. Its resistance is $25 \, \Omega$. How will you convert it into an ammeter to measure $1 \, A$ current?

$A$ galvanometer having a resistance $G$ and current $I_g$ flowing in it,produces full-scale deflection. If $S_1$ is the value of the shunt which converts it into an ammeter of range $0-I$ and $S_2$ is the value of the shunt for range $0-8I$,then the ratio $\frac{S_1}{S_2}$ will be:

In the circuit diagrams ($A, B, C$ and $D$) shown below,$R$ is a high resistance and $S$ is a resistance of the order of galvanometer resistance $G$.
