- an ammeter and
- a voltmeter?

Solution
- A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter of a given range by connecting of suitable low resistance S called shunt in parallel to the galvanometer.
- A galvanometer can be converted into suitable high resistance. Rh in series with the given galvanometer.
