A moving-coil galvanometer has its coil of 24 turns and 12 Ω resistance. By how much the number of turns should be increased so that the current-sensitivity of the galvanometer increases by 25%? If, in doing so, the resistance of the coil increases to 20 Ω, what will be the effect on the voltage-sensitivity of the galvanometer?
