$A$ galvanometer can be converted to a voltmeter of full-scale deflection $V_{0}$ by connecting a series resistance $R_{1}$ and can be converted to an ammeter of full-scale deflection $I_{0}$ by connecting a shunt resistance $R_{2}$. What is the current flowing through the galvanometer at its full-scale deflection?

  • A
    $\frac{V_{0}-I_{0} R_{2}}{R_{1}-R_{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{V_{0}+I_{0} R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{V_{0}-I_{0} R_{2}}{R_{2}-R_{1}}$
  • D
    $\frac{V_{0}+I_{0} R_{1}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$

$A$ moving coil galvanometer has $50$ turns and each turn has an area $2 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$. The magnetic field produced by the magnet inside the galvanometer is $0.02 \ T$. The torsional constant of the suspension wire is $10^{-4} \ N \ m \ rad^{-1}$. When a current flows through the galvanometer,a full-scale deflection occurs if the coil rotates by $0.2 \ rad$. The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer is $50 \ \Omega$. This galvanometer is to be converted into an ammeter capable of measuring current in the range $0-1.0 \ A$. For this purpose,a shunt resistance is to be added in parallel to the galvanometer. The value of this shunt resistance,in ohms,is:
