Given, $V=0.2 V, R_{g}=20 \Omega$ and $I=10 A$

Hence, $I_{g}=\frac{0.2}{2}=0.01 A$

To convert galvanometer into a $10 \mathrm{A}$ ammeter, the galvanometer coil should have to connect a shunt resistance in parallel, given by

$S=\frac{R_{g} I_{g}}{I-I_{g}}$

$S=\frac{(20)(0.01)}{10-0.01}$

$S=\frac{0.2}{9.99}=0.02 A$
