Let N = number of turns in galvanometer, A = Area,
B = magnetic field
= the restoring torque per unit twist.
Current sensitivity,
Voltage sensitivity,
So, resistance of galvanometer
In an ammeter 0.2% of main current passes through the galvanometer. If resistance of galvanometer is G, the resistance of ammeter will be [2014]

Here, resistance of the galvanometer
Current through the galvanometer,
Current through the shunt,
As shunt and galvanometer are in parallel
Resistance of the ammeter is
