AI Generated Solution

To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter and a voltmeter, we will follow the steps outlined below. ### Given: - Resistance of the galvanometer (G) = 100 Ω - Maximum current through the galvanometer (Ig) = 2 × 10^(-3) A - Desired range for ammeter (I) = 20 A - Desired range for voltmeter (V) = 20 V ...
