$A$ 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?

How can we convert a galvanometer into an ammeter?

$A$ galvanometer $G$ deflects full scale when a potential difference of $0.50 \ V$ is applied. The internal resistance of the galvanometer $r_g$ is $25 \ \Omega$. An ammeter is constructed by incorporating the galvanometer and an additional shunt resistance $R_S$. The ammeter deflects full scale when a measurement of $2.0 \ A$ is made. The resistance $R_S$ is closest to : ................. $\Omega$
