Question
How is a galvanometer converted into a voltmeter and an ammeter? Draw the relevant diagrams and find the resistance of the arrangement in each case. Take resistance of galvanometer as G.

Answer
A galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter by connecting a high resistance ‘$R$’ in series with it. A galvanometer is converted into an ammeter by connecting a small resistance $($called shunt$)$ in parallel with it.
Resistance of voltmeter, $?_? = G + R$
Resistance for Ammeter, $\text{R}_{A} = \frac{\text{G }\text{ r}_{s}}{\text{G} + \text{r}_{s}}$.
Resistance of voltmeter, $?_? = G + R$
Resistance for Ammeter, $\text{R}_{A} = \frac{\text{G }\text{ r}_{s}}{\text{G} + \text{r}_{s}}$.

A cart of mass M is at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and a pendulum bob of mass m hangs from the roof of the cart. The string breaks, the bob falls on the floor, makes several collisions on the floor and finally lands up in a small slot made in the floor. The horizontal distance between the string and the slot is L. Find the displacement of the cart during this process.
Write the truth table for circuit given in Fig. 14.47 below consisting of NOR gates and identify the logic operation (OR, AND, NOT) which this circuit is performing.
(Hint: A = 0, B = 1 then A and B inputs of second NOR gate will be 0 and hence Y=1. Similarly work out the values of Y for other combinations of A and B. Compare with the truth table of OR, AND, NOT gates and find the correct one.)
