A moving coil galvanometer of resistance G gives a full scale deflection for a current Ig Use the suitable circuit diagram to convert it into an ammeter of range 0 to II>Ig. Deduce the expression for the shunt required for this conversion. Hence write the expression for the resistance of the ammeter thus obtained.

Three long straight parallel wires are kept as shown in Figure. The wire (3)(3) carries a current I. By reversing the direction of I, the net force, on wire (2), due to the other two wires, becomes zero. What will be the directions of current I, in the two cases? Also, obtain the relation between the magnitudes of currents I1, I2and I.

Two long straight parallel conductors carrying steady currents Ia and Ib along the same direction are separated by a distance d. How does one explain the force of attraction between them ? If a third conductor carrying a current Ic in the opposite direction is placed just in the middle of these conductors, find the resultant force acting on the third conductor.
