$A$ galvanometer has a resistance of $80 \Omega$ and it is shunted with a resistance of $20 \Omega$. If $20 \%$ of the main current flows through the galvanometer, what is the value of the main current (in $\text{ A}$)?

In a circuit,$5$ percent of the total current passes through a galvanometer. If the resistance of the galvanometer is $G$,then the value of the shunt is:

In the circuit shown below,the ammeter and the voltmeter readings are $3 \text{ A}$ and $6 \text{ V}$ respectively. Then the value of the resistance $R$ is

Which one of the following modifications may increase the sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer?
$1^{st}$ Way: By using a spring of smaller torsion constant.
$2^{nd}$ Way: By using a smaller coil.
$3^{rd}$ Way: By using a stronger magnet.
$4^{th}$ Way: By using a coil having fewer number of turns.

$A$ $50\, \Omega$ galvanometer gets full-scale deflection when a current of $0.01\, A$ passes through the coil. When it is converted to a $10\, A$ ammeter,the shunt resistance is ........... $\Omega$.
