A moving coil galvanometer, having a resistance `G`, produces full scale deflection when a current `I_(g)` flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into
(i) an ammeter of range `0` to `I_(0)(I_(0) gt I_(g))` by connecting a shunt resistance `R_(A)` to it and
(ii) into a voltmeter of range `0` to `V(V = GI_(0))` by connecting a series resistance `R_(V)` to it. Then,

A

a)`R_(A)R_(V)=G^(2)((I_(0)-I_(g))/(I_(g)))` and `(R_(A))/(R_(V))=((I_(g))/(I_(0)-I_(g)))`

B

b) `R_(A)R_(V)=G^(2)` and `(R_(A))/(R_(V))=((I_(g))/(I_(0)-I_(g)))^(2)`

C

c) `R_(A)R_(V)=G^(2)((I_(g))/(I_(0)-I_(g)))` and `(R_(A))/(R_(V))=((I_(0)-I_(g))/(I_(g)))`

D

d) `R_(A)R_(V)=G^(2)` and `(R_(A))/(R_(V))=(I_(g))/((I_(0)-I_(g)))`

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.
