Question

A moving coil galvanometer has $$50$$ turns and each turn has an area $$2$$×$$10$$−$$4m2$$. The magnetic field produced by the magnet inside the galvanometer is  $$0.02T$$. The torsional constant  of the suspension wire is  $$10$$−$$4Nm$$ rad−$$1$$. When a current flows through the galvanometer, a full scale deflection occurs if the coil rotates by  $$0.2rad$$. The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer is  $$50$$Ω. This galvanometer is to be converted into an ammeter capable of measuring current in the range  $$0$$−$$1.0A$$. For this purpose, a shunt resistance is to be added in parallel to the galvanometer. The value of this shunt resistance, in ohms,is…..
