$A$ moving coil galvanometer allows a full-scale current of $10^{-4} \ A$. $A$ series resistance of $2 \ M\Omega$ is required to convert the above galvanometer into a voltmeter of range $0-5 \ V$. Therefore,the value of shunt resistance required to convert the above galvanometer into an ammeter of range $0-10 \ mA$ is .... $\Omega$.

$A$ moving coil galvanometer,having a resistance $G$,produces full scale deflection when a current $I_g$ flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into $(i)$ an ammeter of range $0$ to $I_0$ $(I_0 > I_g)$ by connecting a shunt resistance $R_A$ to it and $(ii)$ into a voltmeter of range $0$ to $V$ $(V = GI_0)$ by connecting a series resistance $R_V$ to it. Then,

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance of $10 \Omega$ and the meter shows full scale deflection for a current of $2 \text{ mA}$. What resistance needs to be connected to convert the meter into a voltmeter of range $0$ to $18 \text{ V}$ (in $\Omega$)?
