A galvanometer having a coil resistance of \(60~ \Omega\) shows full-scale deflection when a current of \(1.0\) A passes through it. It can be converted into an ammeter to read currents up to \(5.0\) A by:
1. Putting in parallel, a resistance of \(24~ \Omega\)
2. Putting in series, a resistance of \(15~ \Omega\)
3. Putting in series, a resistance of \(240~ \Omega\)
4. Putting in parallel, a resistance of \(15~ \Omega\)

A galvanometer of resistance \(50~\Omega\)  is connected to a battery of \(3\) V along with a resistance of \(2950~\Omega\) in series. A full-scale deflection of \(30\) divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. In order to reduce its deflection to \(20\) divisions, the resistance added in series should be:
1. \(1050~ \Omega\)
2. \(1550~ \Omega\)
3. \(2050~ \Omega\)
4. \(1500~ \Omega\)

The resistance of an ammeter is 13 Ω and its scale is graduated for a current up to 100 A. After an additional shunt has been connected to this ammeter, it becomes possible to measure currents up to 750 A by this ammeter. The value of shunt resistance is:

1. 20 Ω

2. 2 Ω

3. 0.2 Ω

4. 2 kΩ
