How will you convert a moving coil galvanometer into a voltmeter?

Why are the pole pieces of a horseshoe magnet in a moving coil galvanometer made cylinder in shape? 

A moving coil galvanometer has a coil of resistance 59 Ω. It shows a full-scale deflection for a current of 50 mA. How will you convert it to an ammeter having a range of 0 to 3A?

A moving coil galvanometer of resistance 55 Ω produces a full scale deflection for a current of 250 mA. How will you convert it into an ammeter with a range of 0 - 3A?

Assertion: When an electric current is passed through a moving coil galvanometer, its coil gets deflected.

Reason: A circular coil produces a uniform magnetic field around itself when an electric current is passed through it.

The figure below shows a circuit containing an ammeter A, a galvanometer G and a plug key K. When the key is closed:
