To verify Ohm's law,a student is provided with a test resistor $R_T$,a high resistance $R_1$,a small resistance $R_2$,two identical galvanometers $G_1$ and $G_2$,and a variable voltage source $V$. The correct circuit to carry out the experiment is

An ammeter with internal resistance $90\,\Omega$ reads $1.85\,A$ when connected in a circuit containing a battery and two resistors $700\,\Omega$ and $410\,\Omega$ in series. The actual current in the circuit (without the ammeter) will be:

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

$A$ 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 $\text{ A}$)?

Which one of the following modifications may increase the sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer?
