-
Let galvanometer resistance and full-scale current be
-
Case 1: Galvanometer shunted by gives full-scale at total current
Here the galvanometer and shunt are in parallel. At full-scale, Current through galvanometer is , so current through shunt is
Since voltage across galvanometer and shunt is same,
-
Case 2: Galvanometer in series with gives full-scale at
Now it acts as a voltmeter. At full-scale, current through galvanometer is . Total series resistance is Hence,
-
Use equation (1) to find relation
From (1),
From (2),
Divide (2) by (1):
So,
-
