(c) Electric current corresponds to the revolution of electron is $i = \frac{{ev}}{{2\pi r}}$
Magnetic field due to circular current at the centre $B = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{2\pi \,i}}{r} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{ev}}{{{r^2}}}$==> $r = \sqrt {\frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{ev}}{B}} $==> $r \propto \sqrt {\frac{v}{B}} $.

    A moving coil galvanometer, having a resistance $G$, produces full scale deflection when a current $I_g$ flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into $(i)$ an ammeter of range $0$ to $I_0 (I_0 > I_g)$ by connecting a shunt resistance $R_A$ to it and $(ii)$ into a voltmeter of range $0$ to $V(V = GI_0)$ by connecting a series resistance $R_V$ to it. Then,
