The correct Answer is:
To convert the given galvanometer into an ammeter and then into a voltmeter, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Full Scale Deflection Current (Ig) The full-scale deflection current \( I_g \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ I_g = n \times I_s \] where: - \( n = 30 \) (number of divisions) - \( I_s = 20 \, \mu A = 20 \times 10^{-6} \, A \) Calculating \( I_g \): \[ I_g = 30 \times 20 \times 10^{-6} = 600 \times 10^{-6} = 6 \times 10^{-4} \, A \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Shunt Resistance (S) for the Ammeter To convert the galvanometer into an ammeter, we need to find the shunt resistance \( S \) using the formula: \[ S = \frac{I_g \times G}{I - I_g} \] where: - \( G = 25 \, \Omega \) (resistance of the galvanometer) - \( I = 1 \, A \) (maximum current for the ammeter) Substituting the values: \[ S = \frac{6 \times 10^{-4} \times 25}{1 - 6 \times 10^{-4}} = \frac{150 \times 10^{-4}}{0.9994} \] Calculating \( S \): \[ S \approx 0.015 \, \Omega \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Effective Resistance of the Ammeter (G') The effective resistance \( G' \) of the ammeter can be calculated using: \[ G' = \frac{G \times S}{G + S} \] Substituting the values: \[ G' = \frac{25 \times 0.015}{25 + 0.015} = \frac{0.375}{25.015} \] Calculating \( G' \): \[ G' \approx 0.01499 \, \Omega \] ### Step 4: Convert the Ammeter into a Voltmeter To convert the ammeter into a voltmeter, we need to find the series resistance \( R \) using: \[ R = \frac{V}{I_g} - G \] where: - \( V = 1 \, V \) (maximum voltage for the voltmeter) Substituting the values: \[ R = \frac{1}{6 \times 10^{-4}} - 25 \] Calculating \( R \): \[ R = 1666.67 - 25 \approx 1641.67 \, \Omega \] ### Final Results - The shunt resistance \( S \) for the ammeter is approximately \( 0.015 \, \Omega \). - The series resistance \( R \) for the voltmeter is approximately \( 1641.67 \, \Omega \).

To convert the given galvanometer into an ammeter and then into a voltmeter, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Full Scale Deflection Current (Ig) The full-scale deflection current \( I_g \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ I_g = n \times I_s \] where: ...
