A shunt resistance `R_(A)` is used to convert it into an ammeter of range `I_(o)` and a resistance `R_(V)` is connected in series to convert it into a voltmeter of range `V_(0)` such that `V_(0)=I_(0)G` then `R_(A)R_(V)` and `(R_(A))/(R_(V))` respectively are:

A

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

B

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

C

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

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to derive the expressions for the shunt resistance \( R_A \) and the series resistance \( R_V \) used to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter and a voltmeter, respectively. ### Step 1: Understanding the Galvanometer to Ammeter Conversion When converting a galvanometer to an ammeter, a shunt resistance \( R_A \) is connected in parallel with the galvanometer. The full-scale deflection current of the galvanometer is \( I_G \), and the range of the ammeter is \( I_0 \). Using the current division rule, we can write: \[ I_0 = I_G + I_S \] Where \( I_S \) is the current through the shunt. The voltage across the galvanometer and the shunt is the same, so we can express the relationship as: \[ I_G \cdot G = I_S \cdot R_A \] Substituting \( I_S = I_0 - I_G \) into the equation gives: \[ I_G \cdot G = (I_0 - I_G) \cdot R_A \] Rearranging this equation, we can express \( R_A \): \[ R_A = \frac{I_G \cdot G}{I_0 - I_G} \] ### Step 2: Understanding the Galvanometer to Voltmeter Conversion For the conversion of a galvanometer to a voltmeter, a resistance \( R_V \) is connected in series with the galvanometer. The output voltage \( V_0 \) is given by: \[ V_0 = I_G \cdot (G + R_V) \] According to the problem, we have: \[ V_0 = I_0 \cdot G \] Substituting this into the voltmeter equation gives: \[ I_0 \cdot G = I_G \cdot (G + R_V) \] Rearranging this equation allows us to express \( R_V \): \[ R_V = \frac{I_0 \cdot G}{I_G} - G \] ### Step 3: Finding the Product \( R_A R_V \) Now, we can find the product \( R_A R_V \): \[ R_A R_V = \left( \frac{I_G \cdot G}{I_0 - I_G} \right) \left( \frac{I_0 \cdot G}{I_G} - G \right) \] Simplifying this expression: 1. Substitute \( R_V \): \[ R_V = \frac{I_0 G - I_G G}{I_G} = \frac{(I_0 - I_G) G}{I_G} \] 2. Now substituting \( R_V \) into the product: \[ R_A R_V = \frac{I_G \cdot G}{I_0 - I_G} \cdot \frac{(I_0 - I_G) G}{I_G} \] 3. The \( I_G \) terms cancel out: \[ R_A R_V = G^2 \] ### Step 4: Finding the Ratio \( \frac{R_A}{R_V} \) Now, we find the ratio \( \frac{R_A}{R_V} \): \[ \frac{R_A}{R_V} = \frac{\frac{I_G \cdot G}{I_0 - I_G}}{\frac{(I_0 - I_G) G}{I_G}} = \frac{I_G^2}{(I_0 - I_G)^2} \] ### Final Results Thus, we have: 1. \( R_A R_V = G^2 \) 2. \( \frac{R_A}{R_V} = \frac{I_G^2}{(I_0 - I_G)^2} \)
