A galvanometer coil has a resistance of \(12 ~\Omega\) and the metre shows full-scale deflection for a current of \(3 ~\text{mA}.\) How will you convert the metre into a voltmeter of range \(0\) to \(18 ~\text{V}?\)

1. a resistor of resistance \(5988 ~\Omega\) is to be connected in series with the galvanometer.
2. a resistor of resistance \(4988 ~\Omega\) is to be connected in parallel with the galvanometer.
3. a resistor of resistance \(4988 ~\Omega\) is to be connected in series with the galvanometer.
4. a resistor of resistance \(5988 ~\Omega\) is to be connected in parallel with the galvanometer.

A galvanometer coil has a resistance of 15 Ω and the metre shows full-scale deflection for a current of 4 mA. How will you convert the metre into an ammeter of range 0 to 6 A?

1. a shunt resistor 0.02 Ω  is to be connected in series with the galvanometer.
2. a shunt resistor 0.02 Ω is to be connected in parallel with the galvanometer.
3. a shunt resistor 0.01 Ω  is to be connected in series with the galvanometer.
4. a shunt resistor 0.01 Ω is to be connected in parallel with the galvanometer.
