Given $\mathrm{G}=10\  \Omega$

$ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}=3 \mathrm{~mA} $

$ \mathrm{I}=8 \mathrm{~A}$

In case of conversion of galvanometer into ammeter.

We have $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}} \mathrm{G}=\left(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}\right) \mathrm{S}$

$ S=\frac{I_g G}{I-I_g} $

$ S=\frac{\left(3 \times 10^{-3}\right) 10}{8-0.003}=3.75 \times 10^{-5} \Omega$

    An $\alpha$-particle (mass $4 amu$ ) and a singly charged sulfur ion (mass $32 amu$ ) are initially at rest. They are accelerated through a potential $V$ and then allowed to pass into a region of uniform magnetic field which is normal to the velocities of the particles. Within this region, the $\alpha$-particle and the sulfur ion move in circular orbits of radii $r_\alpha$ and $r_5$, respectively. The ratio $\left(r_s / r_\alpha\right)$ is. . . . .$(4)$
