A galvanometer has a resistance of `16Omega`. It shows full scale deflection when a current of 20mA is passed through it. The only shunt resistance available is 0.06W which is not appropriate to convert galvanometer into ammeters. How much resistance should be connected in series with the coil of galvanometer so that the range of ammeter is 8A?
