Here's the solution to the questions:
a) A permanent magnet moving coil instrument has an internal resistance of $100 \, \Omega$ and requires a current of $1 \, \text{mA}$ to reach the full scale deflection (f.s.d.). Determine
i) The value of the shunt resistor necessary to extend the range to $500 \, \text{mA}$
Step 1: Identify the given values.
Internal resistance of the meter, $R_m = 100 \, \Omega$.
Full scale deflection current of the meter, $I_m = 1 \, \text{mA} = 0.001 \, \text{A}$.
Desired full scale current, $I =
