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

The coil area of a galvanometer is 25 × 10^-4 m^2. It consists of 150 turns of wire and is in a magnetic field of 0.15 T. The restoring torque constant of the suspension fiber is 10^-6 Nm per degree. Assuming the magnetic field to be radial, calculate the maximum current that can be measured by the galvanometer if the scale can accommodate a 30° deflection.

A $5.0-\Omega$ coil, of 100 turns and diameter $6.0 \mathrm{~cm}$, is placed between the poles of a magnet so that the magnetic flux is maximum through the coil's cross-sectional area. When the coil is suddenly removed from the field of the magnet, a charge of $1.0 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{C}$ flows through a 595-\Omega galvanometer connected to the coil. Compute $B$ between the poles of the magnet. As the coil is removed, the flux changes from $B A$, where $A$ is the coil's cross-sectional area, to zero. Therefore, $$ |\mathscr{E}|=N\left|\frac{\Delta \Phi_{M}}{\Delta t}\right|=N \frac{B A}{\Delta t} $$ We are told that $\Delta q=1.0 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{C} .$ But, by Ohm's Law, $$ |\varepsilon|=I R=\frac{\Delta q}{\Delta t} R $$ where $R=600 \Omega$ is the total resistance. If we now equate these two expressions for $|\varepsilon|$ and solve for $B$, we find $$ B=\frac{R \Delta q}{N A}=\frac{(600 \Omega)\left(1.0 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{C}\right)}{(100)\left(\pi \times 9.0 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^{2}\right)}=0.21 \mathrm{~T} $$
The resistance of the coil of a pivoted-coil galvanometer is 9.56 Ω, and a current of 3.00×10⁻² A causes it to deflect full scale. We want to convert this galvanometer to an ammeter reading 20.0 A full scale. The only shunt available has a resistance of 2.00×10⁻² Ω. Part A What resistance R must be connected in series with the coil (see the figure (Figure 1))?
