उत्तर
(i) In converting a galvanometer into a voltmeter, a very high suitable resistance is connected is series to its coil. So, the galvanometer gives full scale deflection.
(ii) In converting a galvanometer into an ammeter, a very small suitable resistance is connected in parallel to its coil. The remaining pair of the current i.e. (I − Ig) flows through the resistance. Here I = Circuit current
Ig = Current through galvanometer
