Unreasonable Results

Avg difficulty 2.5

(a) What resistance would you put in parallel with a 40.0-Ω\text{40} . 0-Ω galvanometer having a 25.0-μA\text{25}. 0-μA sensitivity to allow it to be used as an ammeter that has a full-scale deflection for 10.0-μA\text{10} . 0-μA? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are responsible?
