Two moving coil galvanometers,$X$ and $Y$,have coils with resistances $10 \Omega$ and $14 \Omega$,cross-sectional areas $4.8 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2$ and $2.4 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2$,and number of turns $30$ and $45$ respectively. They are placed in magnetic fields of $0.25 \ T$ and $0.50 \ T$ respectively. Find the ratio of their current sensitivities and the ratio of their voltage sensitivities.
