A coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side \(l\) is suspended between the pole pieces of a permanent magnet such that \(\vec{B}\) is in the plane of the coil. If due to a current \(i\) in the triangle, a torque \(\tau\) acts on it, the side \(l\) of the triangle will be:
1. \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \left(\frac{\tau}{Bi}\right)\)
2. \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \frac{\tau}{Bi}\)
3. \(2 \left(\frac{\tau}{\sqrt{3} Bi} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
4. \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \left(\frac{\tau}{Bi} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)

A galvanometer of \(50~\Omega\) resistance has \(25\) divisions. A current of \(4\times 10^{-4}~\text{A}\) gives a deflection of one division. To convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter having a range of \(25~\text{V}\), it should be connected with a resistance of:

1. \(245~\Omega\) as a shunt
2. \(2550~\Omega\) in series
3. \(2450~\Omega\) in series
4. \(2500~\Omega\) as a shunt
