The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to derive the relationships for the shunt resistance \( R_A \) when the galvanometer is converted into an ammeter and the series resistance \( R_V \) when it is converted into a voltmeter.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding the Galvanometer:**
- A moving coil galvanometer has a resistance \( G \) and shows full-scale deflection for a current \( I_g \).
2. **Conversion to Ammeter:**
- To convert the galvanometer into an ammeter, we connect a shunt resistance \( R_A \) in parallel with the galvanometer.
- The total current \( I_0 \) flowing through the circuit is divided between the galvanometer and the shunt:
\[
I_g = I_0 - I_s
\]
where \( I_s \) is the current through the shunt.
- The voltage across both the galvanometer and the shunt is the same:
\[
I_g \cdot G = I_s \cdot R_A
\]
- Substituting \( I_s = I_0 - I_g \) into the equation gives:
\[
I_g \cdot G = (I_0 - I_g) \cdot R_A
\]
- Rearranging for \( R_A \):
\[
R_A = \frac{I_g}{I_0 - I_g} \cdot G \tag{1}
\]
3. **Conversion to Voltmeter:**
- To convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter, we connect a series resistance \( R_V \).
- The total voltage across the galvanometer and the series resistance is:
\[
V = I_g \cdot G + I_g \cdot R_V
\]
- Since \( V = G \cdot I_0 \) (the maximum voltage for the voltmeter), we have:
\[
G \cdot I_0 = I_g \cdot G + I_g \cdot R_V
\]
- Rearranging for \( R_V \):
\[
R_V = \frac{I_0 - I_g}{I_g} \cdot G \tag{2}
\]
4. **Finding the Product \( R_A \cdot R_V \):**
- Multiply equations (1) and (2):
\[
R_A \cdot R_V = \left( \frac{I_g}{I_0 - I_g} \cdot G \right) \cdot \left( \frac{I_0 - I_g}{I_g} \cdot G \right)
\]
- Simplifying this:
\[
R_A \cdot R_V = G^2
\]
5. **Finding the Ratio \( \frac{R_A}{R_V} \):**
- Dividing equation (1) by equation (2):
\[
\frac{R_A}{R_V} = \frac{\frac{I_g}{I_0 - I_g} \cdot G}{\frac{I_0 - I_g}{I_g} \cdot G}
\]
- Simplifying this gives:
\[
\frac{R_A}{R_V} = \left( \frac{I_g}{I_0 - I_g} \right) \cdot \left( \frac{I_g}{I_0 - I_g} \right) = \left( \frac{I_g}{I_0 - I_g} \right)^2
\]
### Final Results:
- \( R_A \cdot R_V = G^2 \)
- \( \frac{R_A}{R_V} = \left( \frac{I_g}{I_0 - I_g} \right)^2 \)
### Conclusion:
The correct option based on the derived equations is option B.
