The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer falls from divisions to divisions, when a shunt of is connected across it. The resistance of the galvanometer is

A galvanometer has a resistance of . A shunt is connected across it such that of the total current passes through the galvanometer. Then the value of the shunt is

An ammeter gives full deflection when a current of flows through it. The resistance of ammeter is . If the same ammeter is to be used for measuring a maximum current of , then the ammeter must be connected with a resistance of

A milliammeter of resistance gives a full scale deflection for a current of . If the milliammeter is to be used to measure current upto , then the resistance that must be attached to the milliammeter is

A galvanometer of resistance is shunted by resistance. The part (fraction) of the total current that flows through the galvanometer is given as

A galvanometer of resistance is shunted by a resistance of . The percentage of the total current passing through the galvanometer is
