A moving coil galvanometer has $50$ turns and each turn has an area $2 \times 10^{-4} m ^2$. 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 $50 \Omega$. 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. . . . . .
