A circuit contains an ammeter, a battery of \(30~\text{V}\), and a resistance \(40.8~\Omega\) all connected in series. If the ammeter has a coil of resistance \(480~\Omega\) and a shunt of \(20~\Omega\), then the reading in the ammeter will be:
1. \(0.5~\text{A}\)
2. \(0.02~\text{A}\)
3. \(2~\text{A}\)
4. \(1~\text{A}\)

A galvanometer of \(50~\Omega\) resistance has \(25\) divisions. A current of \(4\times 10^{-4}~\text{A}\) gives a deflection of one division. To convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter having a range of \(25~\text{V}\), it should be connected with a resistance of:

1. \(245~\Omega\) as a shunt
2. \(2550~\Omega\) in series
3. \(2450~\Omega\) in series
4. \(2500~\Omega\) as a shunt
