(a) Define current sensitivity of a galvanometer. Write its expression.

(b) A galvanometer has resistance G and shows full scale deflection for current I_{g}.

(i) How can it be converted into an ammeter to measure current up to I_{0}(I_{0}> I_{g}) ?

(ii) What is the effective resistance of this ammeter ?

a) current sensitivity is the deflection per unit current. 

I_s=\frac{\theta}{I}

b) 

(i) By connecting a shunt parallel to the galvanometer. 

(I_0-I_g)R_s=I_gG

(ii)

R_{eff}=\frac{R_sG}{R_s+G}
