$\mathrm{R}_{9}=20 \,\Omega$

$\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{L}}=\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{g}}=\mathrm{N}=30$

$\mathrm{FOM}=\frac{1}{\phi}=0.005 \,\mathrm{A/Div}$

Current sentivity $=\mathrm{CS}=\left(\frac{1}{0.005}\right)=\frac{\phi}{1}$

$I{g_{\max }} = 0.005 \times 30$

$=15 \times 10^{-2}=0.15$

$15=0.15[20+\mathrm{R}]$

$100=20+R$

$R=80$.
