A galvenometer of resistance $\mathrm{G}$ can be used as a voltmeter of range $\mathrm{V}$ if a high resistance $\mathrm{R}$ is connected in its series where.

$\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{I}_{8}}-\mathrm{G}$

$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{R}}$ is the current in the galvenometer for full scale deflection.

For the choice $( 1)$

${\rm{R}} = \frac{{50}}{{50 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}} - 100 \ne 10{\rm{k}}\Omega $

For the choice $(2)$

$\mathrm{R}=\frac{10}{50 \times 10^{-6}} -100=2 \times 10^{5}-100 $

$ \simeq 2 \times {10^5}\Omega $

$ \simeq 200{\rm{k}}\Omega $

Hence, the choice $( 2)$ is conrect.

Further, the galvanometer may be converted inte an ammeter if a small resistance $'s'$ is connectec (or shunted) in parallel with the galvenometer.

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

$I$ is the range of the annmeter.

For the choice $( 3)$

$S = \frac{{50 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} - 50 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}} \times 100$

$ \simeq \frac{{50 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}} \times 100$

$ \simeq 1\Omega $

Hence. the choices $( 3)$ and $( 4)$ are not contect.

    Two parallel wires in the plane of the paper are distance $X _0$ apart. A point charge is moving with speed $u$ between the wires in the same plane at a distance $X_1$ from one of the wires. When the wires carry current of magnitude $I$ in the same direction, the radius of curvature of the path of the point charge is $R_1$. In contrast, if the currents $I$ in the two wires have direction opposite to each other, the radius of curvature of the path is $R_2$.

    If $\frac{x_0}{x_1}=3$, the value of $\frac{R_1}{R_2}$ is.
