A galvanometer has a resistance of 8 Ω. It gives a full-scale deflection for a current of 10 mA. It is to be converted into an ammeter of range 5 A. The only shunt resistance available is of 0.02 Ω, which is not suitable for this conversion. Find the value of resistance R that must be connected in series with the galvanometer (Figure) to get ammeter of desired range.
