Question
What information would you wish to know about the galvanometer before converting it into an ammeter or voltmeter?

Answer

For converting galvanometer into ammeter or voltmeter, we must know:
i. Resistance of the galvanometer $\left( R _{ g }\right)$
ii. Current $\left( I _{ g }\right)$ required to produce full scale deflection in the galvanometer.
